Twitter Post #2

Over the past semester in my technology in Education class, we have been active members on education twitters. I was able to make a twitter for educational purposes. Through my twitter posts and retweets, I have been able to share ideas and create new ideas for a future classroom and how I want to hopefully run it one day soon. I think by going onto twitter a few times a week, I have been able to hear from different teachers and administration about their favorite memories or goals for the future. I think hearing their stories from them has helped me create a type of mindset I want to have in the future

So far while searching twitter I find myself becoming really interested in technology tools used in the classroom. I am not a huge technology person, so hearing from other teachers about what they are using in the classroom is a great tool for me to have learned so early on in this process. I think companies like Flipgrid and Ozobot are so interactive in the class and I cannot wait to share these ideas with future students. Another page I actively have begun following is a teacher/blogger/speaker by the name of Jennifer Hogan. She posts some of the most uplifting quotes and phrases for students, leaders, faculty, educators, parents and so on. She does a wonderful job in sharing her stories as well as asking others to talk about what certain words or quotes mean to them. 

I think it would be such a fun opportunity to be an educator and a teaching blogger. I have seen so many new pages on twitter recently about blogs and Teachers Pay Teachers, and it really is eye opening to have discovered so many new materials and ideas though a form of social media! I want to be able to share my ideas and projects with teachers all around the world, and I think a blog or twitter type of platform would be a great spot to do so!

I have been able to retweet ideas and quotes I want to not only share with classmates I have right now, but hopefully I can share these ideas with future students of mine. I hope I can continue to use twitter as an active form of professional development platform. I find myself going on there more often than any other form of social media and I definitely think that is a great start to a wonderful future full of constant education and learning!
