Did you know you don't have to join Twitter to use it as a professional resource?
For someone who isn't sold on joining Twitter and just wants to know more about it, you can go to Twitter.com and search through the Twitter feed to find information that is valuable to you. The cool thing about Twitter is that it is kind of like channel surfing. Instead of channels, Twitter uses # which create various feeds that kind of collect information/posts that include the matching #. So if people want to learn about educational technology, the might look at #edtech, or if you want to know more about PBIS you can check out #pbischat which is also a weekly chat about PBIS. Want to see if there is one for your content or interest area, check out the list of educational Twitter chats. If you don't have an account, you can use the search in Twitter to look for the # you want to then search through the feed to find resources and information. You can also do a combination where you use a # and positive and you get a more narrow feed like this. Or for social studies teachers wanting information about the Civil War you could try #sschat and Civil War and look through these results. If you begin finding people who are sharing resources of value to you, you might then reach out to contact them, or consider joining Twitter and begin following them. If you are someone new to Twitter and decide to join, please let me know and I can provide some additional training on how to get the most out of Twitter.
