I was extremely excited when sfBIG asked Digg to be part of the SFUSD Professional Development Day. I come from a family of teachers, so to have the opportunity to educate the "educators" was a very fulfilling experience. sfBIG is doing a great job educating the Bay Area community on the online Media Industry.
