Twitter PLN

During the last three weeks, I have been looking at twitter or have been posting to twitter. I do see the benefits of using twitter as a PLN. People tweet about their experiences in the classroom. What has their students been up to, or what have their students said in class. I also have seen people asking for advice, whether it is something happening with a student or seeing what has worked with them in the classroom when it comes to technology. I never thought of using iMovie before, and I now know a lot more about Flipgrad. Some teachers have been talking to other classes in different states or countries. Following Catlin Tucker, I have learned a lot more about twitter. Also, because of her, I have learned to create a project Choice Board. There are times where someone would retweet or tweet with some encouragement to their followers. There are times where a tweet is about politics or a random video pops up about dogs, but for the most part, everything has been education-related. People will also post about resources anybody could use. They believe this could help someone. I know there was a day where a found an article about educational technology interesting, so I tweeted that out.  There are times where I see someone has participated in a twitter chat, and I do get some ideas from seeing those tweets. I do not just follow people. I also follow Edpuzzle and NAFME and they also come up with some helpful resources. I have learned that twitter is so much more than just a place where people complain or share what is happening in their life. Twitter is more than just a social media site. This is where people could go to get help and advice. Teachers can connect with other teachers.
