Okay I couldn’t think of a better word than Twitterers because Tweeters just sounded wrong. Our PLC’s WA STEM Grant work has been moving along. At our first meeting everyone started a blog and wrote their first blog post. I wrote about and shared their blogs here: Becoming Bloggers. At our second meeting everyone started …
