It’s important that we as teachers understand Twitter as our
students are using it as one of their main means of communication. But, more
importantly we should be using Twitter to learn, collaborate and improve as
educators. By expanding our Personal Learning Networks (PLNs), we will be
better able to address the challenges of educating our students.
In Learning by Heart, Roland
Barth pontificated, “I wonder how many children’s lives might be saved if we
educators disclosed what we know to each other?”
Twitter enables use to tear down those walls and to openly
communicate.
I hope you’ll join millions of other committed educators and
me on Twitter. Looking forward to learning from you.
