This month we are focusing on being IB "Communicators" and in order to do that, we can communicate with the whole world via this hashtag project. Read below for directions:
Who is the teacher at Piedmont who you'd like to thank?
#PiedmontIB would like to take part in the #IB50 50th anniversary of the IB. To participate, write a short shout out about that teacher and send it to Ms. Gurthie (verbally in the media center, on a piece of paper, by email, via your teacher, or share a google doc) Ms. Gurthie will tweet it to the IBO and it will be featured. |
