At first, I was really hesitant on establishing a
twitter account. I am not a person who
works well with technology until I took this class. This summer I have learned
so much about technology and how to incorporate it in my content. I am not saying that I am an expert on
technology, but I am working my way there.
Establishing a twitter account has helped me connect
with people and technology that will help me become a better teacher. For example, PBS teacher is a great resource
on twitter. They just recently tweeted a
great way to teach the Constitution through this hash tag #HistoryTeacher ow.ly/mYb19. Teacher.Net is also a great
resource on twitter. They have a chat
where you can ask questions and comment to another educator. Just the other day someone tweeted “A1. Is
bringing wonder, passion, and imagination back into the classroom for students
and teachers. #iledchat”
I really enjoy reading everyone tweets and learning
new teaching methods on twitter but the thing I
enjoy most is the information I
obtain about Social Studies. I met this
amazing man name Dave Burgess. He
conducted a workshop I attended and his teaching methods really blew my
mind. I follow him on twitter and he
gives great teaching tips and he gives information about professional
development workshop. He sometimes uses
the #tlap.
I have benefited from using twitter. I probably will continue to use it to help me
as a teacher and a life long learner.
