In our Making the Most of the ASCA Conference School Counseling on Air , Andrea Burston mentioned using Tagboard to follow #ASCA14 from near or far! I thought this was an excellent idea, so I wanted to share it with you on here. Even if you can't attend the ASCA Conference this year you can view tweets, pictures, videos, and other information by using Tagboard. You do not even need any social media accounts to access tags. In fact, you can search other hashtags too! I did post awhile back about using Tagboard . Feel free to check it out as a refresher to learn more about Tagboard and create your own Tagboards . You can check out my #ASCA14 Tagboard or view it below! Comment below,  tweet ,  contact Danielle , or share on the  School Counselor Blog Facebook Page !

I highly, highly recommend downloading the 2014 ASCA Conference App or using the web version of the app, even if you do not plan on attending the con

I really can't believe the school year is over! This year has been a whirlwind. I am ready for a break and glad things are winding down. I am looking forward to writing posts over the summer of things I have done this school year. I plan to write a re-cap post soon and elaborate on the different things in longer posts. I took some pictures today of my office. I am still working a few days this week and over the summer. I realized I never shared pictures of my completed office on School Counselor Blog! I have been changing and re-arranging things all year. It has come a long way from my blank slate !  Entrance to my office.  Ikea Expedit shelf with games, books, (empty) candy bowl, stress balls,  and more! View from my desk and view of my desk!
