(Music plays)
It’s Friday, March 15th, 2013 and welcome to episode 147 of Tech Talk 4 Teachers, I’m Tom Grissom. Cindy: and I’m Cindy Rich. Welcome to the Spring Break Edition of Tech Talk for Teachers the show about Teaching and Learning with Technology.

This time we have some news about how social media is affecting all aspects of our society, including the Catholic Church. So we will be discussing some of the ways social media is impacting society and the way we get news. This time I have a couple of Technology UN Picks of the week so we will explain that when we get to our Tech Picks segment, or” UN” picks in this weeks case.
