Hi all:

If you are curious about social media and only have minimal exposure, I
hope you will join me and Bryan Schultz from NACCRRA for our
introductory session about social media in ECE at the 2009 NAEYC Annual
Conference on 11/21/2009 from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM at the Washington
Convention Center in Room 145B. The title is...: Tapping into the world of
Web 2.0 for early childhood program outreach, advocacy, fundraising,
and professional development. This is a beginner's overview, so if you
are an expert, send someone else who wants to learn!

Let's bring our community together in the 21st century!
