I have today, officially had my mind blown. Whilst on a course in London, the presenter asked how many people used Twitter for work. No one put their hand up. No one.
After much advertising and big talking of Twitter, I was still unconvinced. However, on the journey home I began to look into 'educators' on Twitter. It turns out there are literally hundreds, if not thousands of teachers online and sharing resources.
Now I'm not saying I'm totally sold and there are still, I think, barriers for it being used in schools. (An obvious example being that it is blocked on school networks...) BUT there is so much sharing going on! I started flowing at least 10 people/organisations and I feel like I have only just scratched the surface.
So I have challenged myself to do two things:
1. ACTUALLY WRITE THIS BLOG REGULARLY!
2. Learn to use Twitter in a more effective way, more than just as a social network.
If you are like me and are new to Twitter/have no idea what your looking for, then let me know what you find and I'll share what I've found and together will bumble through.
Until next time,
Your friendly blogger.
