    "Get your hashtags ready: Twitter is a far more effective source of CPD than more traditional approaches, research has found. Indeed, teachers believe they derive more from the 140 characters of a tweet than they do from several hours of seminars or lectures. Academics from two US universities surveyed 755 members of school staff about Twitter. They found that the most popular use of the social media website was for CPD, with many praising Twitter's advantages over more traditional methods. Twitter, many teachers told researchers, allowed them to create a virtual staffroom, filled entirely with their own choice of colleagues. Indeed, a middle school English teacher explained: "I have learned so much from other teachers. It has transformed my teaching. And this is my 18th year [in the profession].""

  • "Firstly, I teach in smaller grabs of time," she says, "but this is a good thing. I personally believe that teaching has long been too auditory. It is important to cater for different perceptual styles -- visual, auditory and kinesthetic (learning by doing) -- especially when teaching younger children."

  • Before the internet, to be a teacher you had to be everything in one person. Now there is a range of possibilities and many more people can become part of the education process,"

      Maybe a good conversation starter for technoLOTE?
  • "This is not to diminish the role of educators to simply and an administrative job," she says. "Teaching is an intellectual skill. It is the art of getting people to expand their minds, have insights, develop values and to grow emotionally. That will not change."
