Twitter has been beneficial to me, as I have been using it for another class since the beginning of the semester. However, it is really hectic and I do not have much time to go on Twitter to interact as much as I would like to and should. I do know, however, that if I have a question or concern about anything education (or really any topic) related, I can go on Twitter and reach out to those on my PLN. This is comforting because technology is developing so quickly, and it is hard to keep up! There are many subjects that one teacher teaches better than another because of the way they teach the lesson. If my class is not understanding a specific topic, I know that I can go on Twitter and reach out to other educators to see how they teach that subject. All students are capable of learning. But, as educators, we need to be sure to teach through various learning methods in order to reach every student in our classroom. On Twitter, I have found articles, blogs, advice on how to handle parents, advice on how to use Twitter to your best advantage, classroom set up ideas, classroom scheduling ideas, anti-bullying demonstrations, how to integrate technology into the classroom, and countless other things. Twitter has been a great resource, and I am glad that I started to use it while I am still in college. This will allow me to further develop my personal learning network, and, hopefully, I can do a Mystery Skype with one of these teachers with my class someday!
