Share your edWeb Story!
We love hearing from members about how you are using – and enjoying – edWeb. We’ve received so many great comments and the value of our professional learning networks. We’d love to put some of those stories on video.
 We met with edWeb member Karen Leon in NYC recently, and she shared some of her reasons why she likes edWeb.
Would you tell us why you like edWeb? Just make a short (60 sec or so) video about how you use edWeb and how it helps you be a more connected educator. We'll conduct a drawing from all the submissions, and the winner will receive a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet. Send your submission by March 31st to qualify for the drawing. Just make a short video and post it to YouTube, then send a link to your video to video@edweb.net.
Keep sending us your stories – and suggestions. You inspire us!
