Can you edit your proposal and tie it more to the mission of the conference? The emphasis should be on building global competency in students and teachers. Let me know when you've edited the proposal and I'll take another look before approving!

Lucy, I have edited the Short Session description and the Full Session Description. In Him, Monte
I'm going to accept this, but I think the proposal still could benefit from additional language on how this can benefit global collaboration. Also, keep in mind that we have a global audience and terms like PTO/PTA are very US Centric.
Thanks!
Lucy, I want to let you know that I am working with Dawn DeBruyn Novarina from WeMeUs Corporation who is working with the MOI Corporation from Japan that operates TwitCast. She is working with Leah Etkind (Community Manager with WeMeUs) to facilitate TwitCast making a presence in the United States with K-20 educators. They have reached out to me to share with them the ways in which I have used TwitCast for education over the past 2 and a half years. TwitCast has now added an Education category to make it easier to search for TwitCasts that are connected with education. In Him, Monte
