Why should K12 CIOs and Technology Directors be on Twitter? Part 2 | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

In my last blog post, I began listing some of the reasons that K12 CIOs and Technology Directors should be on Twitter. Here are a few more! Stay connected to your customers.


Regardless of whether the K12 technology leader comes from a "education" background or a more traditional "IT" background, connecting and interacting with educators - not just technology professionals - is vitally important to help you stay connected to the students, teachers, and administrators you serve.
