“We’ve been searching for an online platform through which we can engage with our readers for a long time,” says Tech & Learning Content Director Christine Weiser. “Social media platforms are more about one-way content delivery and can get cluttered with a lot of noise. We’re excited to host our new Tech & Learning community on the K12Leader platform so our editors can not just share links to articles, but provide an opportunity for our readers to add their insights on this content, and collaborate with each other to find solutions to their challenges and share their successes.”
“K12Leaders has four main goals: amplify the voices of K12 educators, streamline communication and collaboration, keep the conversations going after conferences and networking events, and help build more authentic relationships in the K12 space,” says Michael Bronder, Co-Founder & CEO | K12Leaders. “These are also values that Tech & Learning has clearly been supporting for years through the community of educators and solution providers they serve. We’re very happy to be partnering with T&L by providing this space to keep the conversation going!”
