#UTedChat Questions for 9/28 – Teacher-led Innovation in Schools
We’re excited to have Tami Pyfer (@tpyfer) leading our #UTedChat tonight. We will be discussing Teacher-led Innovation in Schools. It should be a great discussion and we hope you can all come and share your thoughts. If you haven’t already followed Tami on Twitter (@tpyfer) you should probably do so because it will help you to better follow the chat.
As always, please be sure to include #UTedChat in your responses so everyone participating can see your thoughts and ideas. However, we are also asking you to include any of the following hashtags in your responses if you have room, #utpol, #uted, and #utleg, all of which are some of the more political hashtags here in Utah. By including these hashtags in your tweets some of the state politicans will be more likely to see your amazing responses.
