How Twitter is Reinventing Collaboration Among Educators

How Twitter is Reinventing Collaboration Among Educators | Connecting with technology-ICT for university educators. | Scoop.it
From www.pbs.org - October 6, 2012 1:43 PM

Before the advent of Twitter, most educators I know had limited opportunities to collaborate with colleagues outside their building. Some subscribed to listservs or participated in online forums, but these outlets lacked critical mass; teachers also networked at in-person conferences and training sessions, but these isolated events didn't provide ongoing support.

 

Enter Twitter. I've heard many educators say that Twitter is the most effective way to collaborate and that they've learned more with Twitter than they have from years of formal professional development.

I've made many more meaningful contacts through LinkedIn and Facebook. 
Andreas Kuswara's curator insight, April 17, 2013 9:22 PM

twitter alone might not be sufficient, as we (or most of us) not 'always online', we have to do other things. combining twitter with a mechanism to comb through the # and compile personalized feed, would be useful.
Catherine Smyth's comment, April 23, 2013 9:20 PM
I'm a fledgling tweeter but love the way Twitter ignites discussion and ideas within a professional community.

5 Reasons We Use Social Media - Edudemic

5 Reasons We Use Social Media - Edudemic | Connecting with technology-ICT for university educators. | Scoop.it
From edudemic.com - March 18, 2013 7:34 PM
There are many reasons we use social media. From the basic to the more advanced, the tool is simply ubiquitous and addictive. This infographic sheds some light for us all.
Catherine Smyth's insight:

The dizzying array of social media tools can be overwhelming. My favourites for teaching and building a professional community are Scoop.it and Twitter. I love Scoop.it because of its accessilbity and how I can connect with people all over the world. The influence of social media is incredible as the statistics on the graphic on this blog show and as educators, we need to think about the implications of this for teaching and learning.

This infographic, from the Innovative Learning Institute, offers an excellent analysis of the value blended learning can bring to a classroom, as well as why every flipped classroom is a blended learning environment, but every blended learning environment isn’t necessarily a flipped classroom.

While not completely education-related, I found this source very interesting. I think as an educator we should be aware of the impacts of social media and if appropriate inform our students on how to conduct themselves appropriately online.
Ash Sartor's comment, June 8, 2021 7:35 AM
I think this is such a good read! It is so important to education today's society about the impacts of social media. It is becoming more evident that it educator's need to be demonstrating good practices in their classrooms in relation to safe, legal and privacy regulations.
