Hashtags are extremely useful to unit teachers with similar grade levels and learning goals. I also didn't know that there were grade-level Twitter chats. Also, you can post updates from your classroom on the account to communicate with students and/or parents. There is a lot of potential for education, outside of just communicating.

For example, students take on the role of a person in history and pretend to be them. Now I have learned how I can use Twitter to connect with other educators and better myself as an educator through these connections. I can also use Twitter to communicate with students and parents.]]> 2019-09-29 23:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/6d9fr29f2mkd/wish/391101887 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/6d9fr29f2mkd/wish/392220074 Learning about Twitter in this way has really opened my eyes to the immense benefits that it holds as an educational tool. I have learned that Twitter is truly a place where I am able to enhance my professional development as well as expand my "Personal Learning Network". It is a place for teachers to learn from one another and share ideas through schools and grade-level specific classrooms. Educators from all over the world are able to connect and unite through something as simple as a hashtag. Twitter is also a place to post updates from the classroom in a fun and exciting way, as well as a a great communication tool between the classroom and the students' families. ]]> 2019-10-02 01:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/6d9fr29f2mkd/wish/392220074 https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/6d9fr29f2mkd/wish/392734898 Before this activity I think I saw Twitter as more of a risk than a useful tool for teachers. After doing this activity I have learned about the countless ways twitter can be used to help educators around the world connect and collaborate. It is a great way to share ideas with families and with other teachers. ]]> 2019-10-02 20:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/alicia_duell/6d9fr29f2mkd/wish/392734898
