For me, Twitter has been such an amazing tool for professional development and getting connected to teachers all across the world. I'm always amazed by the quality of resources that are shared along with the speed in which the most current information is delivered. Twitter is, by far, my favorite way to network with others. I started my Twitter account in 2009 and didn't start using it until 2011. I now couldn't imagine not using it!
Why Use Twitter?
Twitter is like Facebook on steroids. If you can imagine the stream of posts that you read on Facebook, multiply that by 100. Then, consider all of those posts to be of high quality content - related specifically to education. Wow - what a resource!
