Junes Action Step
#KingKrew
Each month I will encourage my fellow educators and partners in tech to think of some sort of action to put in motion. This month’s action step will be using a hashtag for my classroom and my student’s parents to explore. The hashtag will be #KingKrew5 and will allow students, parents, and other educators to explore what’s going on with the King Krew on many different areas of social media. Hashtags are very fun to track and are a necessity in our tech world to explore. Here’s to starting my new hashtag, and I hope you will try something new too!
