Abstract	Rather than just teach students facts about history, high school social studies teacher Amy Presley searched for ways to create meaningful experiences they would remember forever. This article describes how she found a group of social studies educators using a Twitter hashtag as a way to share resources and improve her teaching skills. Energized by the community and ideas she encountered on Twitter, Presley shares how she began to seek out other opportunities to work online and offline with educators outside her school and district.
