During the summer months, it is expected that one's online presence
may be devoted to such things as commenting on family photos on Facebook
or sharing hilarious dog photos on Twitter. However, with the next school year
just around the corner, it is worth thinking about how an online presence can
connect professionals working with students with visual impairment or
deafblindness to a larger professional community. This article will highlight
the many ways that DVIDB members can stay connected to the Division and
to one another through the Division's webpage, as well as via social media.
For more detailed information on creating and maintaining a professional
online presence, readers are referred to Ting Siu's (@TVI_ting on Twitter)
piece in the Spring 2013 issue of the DVI Quarterly (now Visual Impairment
and Deafblind Education Quarterly).
