Q7: 1st, let me say I have LOVED this format tonight. That being said, what topics would you like to discuss on #wvedchat in the coming yr?

A7: Thanks for helping us with ideas! I would love to do more PD, edtech, and building school connections #wvedchat

A7: Reaching the 1% of students who just don't care! Changing your schools culture! Improving yourself as a teacher! #wvedchat
