When
I first started this class I had never joined Twitter or had any plans to. I thought it would just be another time
consuming part of social media. I also
never saw it as having any value to education.
I admit I was WRONG! I am
following so many amazing teachers and have already learned a lot from
them. I participated into 2 chats for
class: #edchat and #552peru. I felt
#edchat to be overwhelming and I couldn’t keep up with reading and responding
to others posts, but our class chat flowed a lot smoother and we shared some
great TED Videos and online resources with each other. A chat that I participated
on my own was #kinderchat. There are so
many smart kindergarten teachers out there that have amazing resources. I am really learning a lot from @mattBgomez. He is always posting a free app of the day
and has even created a space for a lot of great kindergarten videos on Symbaloo
under Kinderchat! Click here to view it. I have shared this resource with my fellow kinder teachers and
we appreciate the knowledge. I will continue to use Twitter personally and
professionally after this class because I see the value in connecting with
other teachers around the world. I even
linked up with another kindergarten teacher from the other Peru Cohort and we
have tweeted and now follow each other on Pinterest to share ideas. I would have never known her if it had not
been for this Twitter experience! I am
looking forward to learning more from others!
