eSN Twitter Hour: How ed-tech has made these students rock stars by teaching them 21st century skills
April 3, 2013 from 8 to 9 p.m. EST
Join eSchool News (@eschoolnews) and TechSmith (@TechSmithEDU) as they lead a Twitter-based discussion with Esther Wojcicki (@EstherWojcicki), English and Journalism teacher and founder of the journalism program at Palo Alto High School. Esther built the journalism program from 19 students with a typewriter in 1984 to more than 600 students, five other journalism teachers and eight additional publications. It is now the largest scholastic journalism program in the nation.
Esther and students from Clubacademia will discuss how Palo Alto High Journalism program grew into a national project. Esther will address:
· 
The use of technology is definitely increasing in education. What do you think is driving this increase?
· 
What are some of the key concerns educators have around the increased use of ed-tech?
· 
What are some ways that you have implemented ed-tech successfully in Clubacademia?
· 
What advice do you have for educators wanting to implement technology into teaching & learning?

The chat will take place April 3, 2013 from 8 to 9 p.m. EST. To participate in the discussion, use the hashtag #esntsc.
