Twitter As Professional Learning Resource

[Andrew Garcia]

When I first tried to wrap my mind around twitter, I had the same reaction as many--what a trivial waste of time!
It's true that some use twitter to share every and any banal event of their lives. However there is real PLN (Professional Learning Network) potential on Twitter. Many forward-thinking teachers and administrators use Twitter to post links to excellent learning resources.

I highly recommend giving Twitter a shot. Do a twitter search about your subject or curriculum interests and see what comes up. You can then choose to 'Follow' people who 'tweet' useful links. Once you're following a dozen or so people (peeps), you have created and are a part of a dynamic PLN.
