1. What I am doing here: A classroom website and blog.
2. Professional twitter: Meaning ONLY things that relate to classroom practices or how to help families.
3. Professional YouTube Channel: This can be to help parents with activities, new things learned in your classroom, or ideas on things to do at home with children.
4. Professional Pinterest: Only early childhood ideas that can help families.
