I stay connected on up to date information on special education and student services topics through Twitter. Twitter allows me to follow state and local educational organizations, politics, educational businesses, and professionals in the field.  I can also post information on great things in Medford Area Public School District and retweet information to followers.   To follow our Special Education and Student Services Programs and myself on Twitter you can go to: @Joseph_Greget

Medford Area Public School District does not have a Twitter account yet but I hope it will in the future.
