Write a blog post sharing your thoughts about using Twitter for professional learning and connection. What were your feelings about a live tweet session like #iledchat? Who did you follow and why? Did you pick up any followers? What have you learned? Title or tag your post ‘Activity 6′.
I successfully created a twitter account so follow me @menewman3. I was also successful in hashtagging (#Learning20) and following people but now I need to recruit followers! Again, I still feel "exposed" without understanding the privacy settings so I will have to play with them!
I followed Maureen C. Miller, Lisa Backus, and Hillary Quagliana because after I hashtagged Learning20 it suggested them as followers. I also will be following edtech stuff when I get around to it! I am open to a live tweet like #edtech from 8-9 as suggested by the link but it is undiscovered terrioitory for me so again, I need to find the time to play!
I learned that Twitter is more than a forum to air your views, personally or politically, but it is a resource. I loved Lisa's link for ThursD 4science, every link is a new door opened I have discovered! I am starting to think that more is better in educational technology!

ReplyDeleteThis is so neat. The more I read the more I am amazed. Hope I can be so versed by the time I'm done with these classes! Good job. Your metacognition is helping me on the activities I didn't understand.
