Today's Newsletter: Edtech Tackles the Hurricanes
Usually by now, all students are back in school. Thanks to Harvey and Irma, that is not the case this year. But using social media techniques, which are often seen as a bogeyman for districts, educators have been able to keep connected with students. Education weeks details efforts in Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina schools. The Street focused on Floridians who used Facebook and Twitter to not only track schools closing but also crowdsource solutions for evacuations and food spotting. And American Libraries magazine identifies groups like the Houston Association of School Librarians that have been delivering posters on how to access ebooks to community shelters in the NRG Stadium and other neighborhoods. —Kevin Hogan, Content Director
