I hope you’ll take a moment to post a comment and/or drop me a line about the new redesign, #gtchat or news pertinent to the #gifted community. I can be reached at deborah@ingeniosus.net; I’m @DeborahMersino on Twitter. If you haven’t yet become a fan of Ingeniosus on Facebook, I hope you’ll consider joining the conversation. It’s all about collaboration!

As you know, Ingeniosus remains committed to igniting a fresh and powerful movement in the social media realm and beyond to support gifted learners worldwide. I hope you’ll bookmark this site, sign up for the RSS feed and keep me apprised of how Ingeniosus and #gtchat can serve you best. There’s never been a more critical time in history to understand how to best “market” gifted education. Ingeniosus stands primed and ready to serve.
