- Time, Money, Important to the learner
- Imagine sitting around in a room with a bunch of educators and everyone is reading articles, looking for resources, etc. When someone finds something they like they stand up and say “ Just read this great article about the common core state standard?! ” or “ I found this great app or website for teaching 3rd grade math! ” And then someone else stands up and says, “ Hey, I can use that! ” And other stands up and says, “ I can ’ t wait to share these resources with my teachers! ”
- Learning Community: With Twitter I have another PLc. I am connected to current issues that relate K-12 educators in real time, I don ’ t need to go out and find issues in education because the people I follow bring me that news. Twitter lets me interact with people I ’ ll probably never meet in person and follow conversations. I felt so connect during the learning forward virtual. With Twitter--It ’ s all about YOU. You can learn anytime/anywhere. Lifelong learning never stops.
- Professional vs. Personal: I use Twitter professionally. I only tweet about our trainings, our team at EduTech, K-12 education, and other tech news. I use my facebook for my personal stuff. Also with the followers I have they only care to read my professional tweets.
- Don ’ t be an egg head! Use a photo that show who you are professionally!
- Maximize the space that you have in your profile to share a professional description of yourself. Hobbies show personality, but accomplishments and professional interests might help you land a job.
- You have A LOT of experience so PLEASE share it! Also, you have questions and problems to solve and others have the same questions or have found a solution to that problem...so connect!
- You don ’ t have to follow Kim Kardashian! And that is what make Twitter so powerful...
- Be specific - 3rd grade teachers, Tech. Coord., Principals, YOUR INTERESTS!
- Become a better part of a professional conversation by using hashtags. You ’ ll become more visible to others who are using the hashtag, and be able to better connect with the rest of the conversation. You can even create your own hashtag to spark a conversation that ’ s important to your professional development.
