Well, this week has brought about some significant changes. I vowed NEVER to Tweet! What am I doing? Tweeting! It's actually not as bad as I thought. I even have a TweetDeck. I think the biggest problem is going to be trying to remember to tweet a minimum of five times per week. For those who wish to follow me on my exciting excursion on Twitter you can find me: @hd_sutton.
The purpose of my Twitter project is to create a PLN. If you remember, I discussed PLN's in last week's blog. My PLN will be a global network with teachers, administrators, and other individuals who have the same interest as me. Creating this PLN will allow opportunities for me to share information, resources and collaborate with the intent of becoming a better professional. Here is a link to an article that I found very interesting and helpful. It describes Twitter as a means of gaining professional development and also gives a few tips on how to get the most out of Twitter. http://www.edutopia.org/twitter-professional-development-technology-microblogging

Thanks for posting the link to the Twitter dictionary! I know I will be coming back to that one often. Like you, I never thought I would got involved in the Twitter world. I didn't see the value until I started following like-minded educators. Now I am hooked. I am excited about this new tool to help me grow my PLN.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Twitter dictionary, hoping this will help me understand this tool a little more!
