Twitter for Education! 🐦💬
A major part of teaching is connecting and engaging with the education community (which is also a learning outcome for third year Education students!). As a teacher candidate, I've learned that the "Twitter" app is a great way to begin doing that!
Twitter is a great platform that I use to:
- connect with education experts, mentors, and peers.
- share and gain experiences, knowledge, resources, and tips for creating lessons and managing the classroom environment
- keep up to date with current news on what's happening globally, and within the education realm.
I look forward to using Twitter as part of my teaching practice to help me communicate the "happenings" within my classroom with both the school community and parents/students. My hope would be to use twitter posts as a quick way to: update parents on things such as field trips and school events, provide summaries of what students have learned during the week, and use it as a way to exhibit student work. Twitter will also make for an excellent digital media tool that will allow me to gain more insight in teaching and help me grow as an educator through connecting with peers and future colleagues online.

Very good points and I agree I feel like already (even though we just made our twitter accounts) we have been engaging more with all of our classmates through twitter and sharing information through the app!!
