@KellyFunk94 I love Twitter and connecting with others in my PLN via Twitter or in person at conferences/Edcamps. I follow educators that inspire me or those I share a common interest with.

@timlauer - I use social media to learn from others and to share the work of my district, schools, teachers, and students. Social media allows for educators to connect and learn with others. Being able to follow others, learn what they are sharing, and gain insight into their work, is something that I find helpful, both on a professional and personal level. Connecting with people like Lucy has also be a big plus...

@nmzumpano I'm currently teaching a graduate class about Social Media in education and look forward to sharing this Padlet!  I started a Twitter account for my school @CoonleyES. With graduate students we spend a great deal of time building our PLN through Twitter chats, blogging, and creating professional portfolios. Social media is a MUST in education today!

I am a newbie to Twitter! I am working on integrating it into my undergraduate pre-service courses and my graduate courses. I'm finding my in-service teachers are a bit less eager to use Twitter - but it might be a unique population. My pre-service students are generally new to using Twitter professionally and we are learning together! I've included Twitter as an option for a "professional learning" portion of my Curriculum and Instruction and use #TC_ED210. I also use Twitter with as part of professional development and find that many of the in-service science educators are very active and involved in sharing ideas related to adopting the Next Generation Science Standards. Looking forward to learning more!

Twitter has been the most amazing resource for materials and resources for teaching classes. When I work with teachers, I try to model how powerful Twitter is for professional development. First, I recommend following a subject area through, then we add hashtags. I then host a twitter chat with just the class and our class hashtag, and finally I assign at least 2 twitter chats. We discuss and reflect on the power of connections and ideas outside of the classroom.

I try to create an authentic representation of myself as a person so that students have a positive social media experience to see. Without educators providing that modeling of good behavior and good citizenship in social media, I fear they will only be exposed to the negative aspects of social media that can dominate their lives. It is my hope that like any good marketing scheme, the more they recognize me as a real person, the more they will value what we can accomplish together.

Twitter is an expectation for the undergrads in my Ed Tech class (#UNEedu). As educators, we have tremendous resources available to us. By connecting with other educators we gain access to new ideas and new approaches that will ultimately improve student learning. I ask for my PSTs to participate in four chats and I provide suggestions of individuals to follow to help build PLNs. We also share in class work and projects on a class g+ page. As a classroom teacher (4th & 5th grade) I introduce and reinforce digital literacy and media literacy skills. Google Classroom, Todays Meet, and our class blog all help to develop the skills we discuss in class. As an educator, Twitter in priceless. The platform is the best form of professional growth and inquiry available to me. Our local PLN (#edchatme) is very active and I am fortunate to learn from them in person and through social media.

I teach graduate students and use social media for myself as a learner and as a medium for teaching/learning. Twitter has been one the most powerful ways to connect across content @johannaprince and I use tweetdeck to organize and follow research interests, communities of practice, and see student work. I use a class hashtag #edt520 to enhance student community in an online course.

I'm the workshop facilitator and I'd like to welcome virtual and #MiTE2017 participants.
