I can’t believe it’s been over a year since Arianna and I embarked on the #tdsbEd Twitter Chat adventure! Our goal has been to connect, share and learn with other TDSB Educators because we know that as teachers our best resource is one another!

Larissa’s sketchnote from #tdsbEd Chat on February 23, 2017.

Throughout the past year, we’ve hosted #tdsbEd chats on a variety of relevant topics and subjects areas and many amazing resources, ideas and thoughts have been shared. Along with the sharing came connecting and building relationships that we may not have made outside the realm of Twitter. All of the chats have been archived on our website here.

On Thursday, April 6th we Celebrated #tdsbEd’s 1st Birthday with a live face-to-face gathering & Twitter Chat at the TDSB Board Office. It was such a great way to celebrate and meet the “tweeps” we had only (for the most part) communicated with online virtually! A huge thank you to Peter Singh & Carlo Di Felice for supporting us with this celebration and for supplying the location, food and refreshments!

Thank you to everyone who has made #tdsbEd Twitter Chat what it is today, especially our guest moderators and participants who make it great!
