To get students, parents, teachers and the community back up to speed for the school year, the Timber Creek Talon will be hosting a live chat on August 10, 2017 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Timber Creek community can send in questions on multiple social media platforms, all of which will be used in our multimedia chat.

“We’ve had such a fantastic response to #AskTalon chats on Twitter last year that we wanted to see how we could reach out to others and answer their questions,” student media advisor Greg Janda said.

The August 10 event is a pilot version that will include live video available on YouTube, Facebook, Periscope and other streaming services, plus live questions and answers via Facebook chat, Twitter, and other services.

“We’re trying a lot of things on the technical side even before the school year begins to see how we could best support teaching our students about new media platforms and creating for those viewers,” Janda said.

As the event gets closer, look for links on Twitter, Facebook, Periscope and other locations.
