To begin, I must say that Twitter
is something completely new to me, however, think that it has some serious potential
for someone dedicated to reaping the rewards of bringing modern technology into
the classroom. It not only can be
implemented in teaching, but also can aid in various ways with regard to
professional development.
From
the professional development angle, Twitter is a great place to share articles,
links, and resources with other teachers, worldwide. One can find a very broad range of material,
covering everything from Smart Board tricks to the latest teaching
techniques. Twitter can also serve as a
great way to maintain contact with former students and employees. If you are
interested in how Twitter can aid in your professional development, check out
