Thank you to everyone for your continued support of #gtchat. Our real-time learning platform for collaboration and advocacy on behalf of gifted students (and those who serve them) keeps growing because of you! In these past few weeks, we’ve seen so many new faces from across the globe. I continue to be inspired by the sheer volume of links and dialogue taking place.
I’m hoping to get ”Best of #gtchat” resource lists up sooner. Please join me in applauding @ljconrad, who graciously compiled our list from our 07.09 7:00 p.m./EST chat entitled, “Role Models: Finding the Best Biographies for Gifted Students.” If you missed the transcript, you can find it here {scroll to 10:30 for start of links}.
