Slides shared at a self-regulation workshop in School District 61. The purpose was to show the value of using Twitter as a professional resource. Also, the purpose was to build momentum for the newly created hashtag #srl61 for collaboration and sharing of resources to do with self-regulated learning.

1. Twitter
A Professional Resource

5. Twitter is not
•
to follow famous people
•
the news, an unfiltered mess
or a waste of time
•
to see what people are eating
•
to see sunsets/sunrises

7. Crowd Sourcing
Not one voice or one ‘expert’,
but a filter to see and consider
many voices on a topic
Personalized Learning Network,
with headlines filtered by you
In this case - Self-Regulated
Learning

2. Tailors your conversation
3. Filters information and location
Examples:
#bccurric, #cpchat, #sd61learn, #sd61slm, #bced, #bclearns,
#anxietyined, #srlcanada #srl
