Teacher Experience Exchange - Twitter for Professional Development - 0 views

  • Many think of Twitter as a place where people post insignificant updates about themselves. You know, "I'm getting a coffee." There was a time when I thought the whole concept was silly. Then, Twitter transformed...actually Twitter users developed new ways to use this communication tool. Here's how educators are using Twitter to collaborate and learn more about their craft.
  • Hashtags changed everything. Twitter users have developed ways to search for content and one of the most important innovations is the hashtag (#). A hashtag is text inside a twitter post (called a tweet) that starts with a # and then some text (i.e., #hashtag). This provides a very efficient way to search for content.
  • - Note - The power of Twitter for professional development is not the tweets themselves...it's the links to broader content.

  • To make the process even easier, download and install Tweetdeck. http://www.tweetdeck.com/ Tweetdeck is a program that allows you to perform multiple hashtag searches at the same time.
  • Putting this all together, here's how I personally use Twitter for my own professional development. I start each day by starting up Tweetdeck. I have a number of hashtag searches setup as well as people I follow. I scan the page and see what jumps out at me. Usually, these tweets have links to articles, tips, lesson plans, etc. I click the link, explore the content and try to learn something new. Using this method I can definitely say I learn something new every day.
