Abstract:What Connected Educators Do Differently encourages educators to begin connecting via social media to further their own learning and success. Whitaker, Zoul and Casas support teachers pursuing digital connection through step-bystep suggestions and resources, arguing that educators will grow as learners and teachers, and develop their access to a "large collective brain trust consisting of diverse ideas and perspectives" (p. xxiii).
