I’ve been invited to host a Round Table Breakout Session at the 10th Canadian EdTech Leadership Summit today, titled; “Harnessing the Power and Potential of Social Media to Build Learning Communities.” The invitation was born out of a Podcast I did with conference organizer Robert Martellacci @MindShareLearn, where we discussed my free ebook, Twitter EDU.

Exclusive Podcast with David Truss, Principal Coquitlam SD43, on his newly released book “Twitter EDU” https://t.co/8JH5B73lOo Thanks you for the interview Robert @mindsharelearn
