Two Years Later, #NCed Going Strong

Two years ago, four educators from the Hickory area had a dream of creating a virtual space where NC educators could come together and share strategies, ideas, information, and news.  Dr. David Stegall and Cindy Geddes were both in Newton-Conover at the time.  Heather Mullins worked for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, and Dr. Jayme Linton worked at Lenoir-Rhyne University.  The four brainstormed how to create this virtual space and ensure a state-district-higher-ed partnership. Then, #NCed was born.
Today, hundreds of thousands of tweets later, and eleven regular moderators strong, #NCed has become the “go-to” Twitter site for NC education news.  Check out the spring chat lineup below, and join us for an upcoming conversation.
