Learn About Patch Through Free 'Patch Academy'

West Roxbury Patch allows its followers to use the site in so many ways to learn about what is happening around town and to share information.

On Tuesday, March 27, the editors of West Roxbury Patch, Needham Patch, Dedham Patch, Norwood Patch and Westwood Patch will hold our first Patch Academy at  from 6-7 p.m. at 656 East St., Dedham.

We want to show you, our readers, how to upload photos and videos to our Patch sites and use our business directory and introduce you to Local Voices, where people from the community can have their own blogs to write about things they care about.

We also want to show you how we use social media like Facebook and Twitter to share our stories and interact with readers. Patch Academy is open to everyone and is free, so please stop by, talk with us and learn about all of the great ways that Patch can serve you and your community.

Whether there's something you'd like to see more of on our sites, you're curious about how we operate or you want to know how to submit items for your school, business or organization, this is a great opportunity to learn more about Patch.

We look forward to seeing you March 27 at  in Dedham!
