friends, LinkedIn has provided us with

invaluable business tools, and Twitter

has brought the world to our fingertips.

• Edmodo has been bringing the power of

the web and mobile to students and has

become the largest social learning

network in the world for k12 learning.

• Founders4Schools has brought the

power of LinkedIn to teachers so their

students can explore businesses within 5

miles of the school’s location and invite

them to speak to the students or help

students get workplace visits…

collaboratively with customers & partners
