Build a professional network of quality on Twitter

Yep, I'm a Twitter user and I find it helpful as a professional learning network tool to connect with like-minded educators, to share what I have and at the same time learn from them. I am always excited to get teacher followers and interact with them!

 

Twitter can help you create a professional learning network, but it's important to focus on the quality of the educators you follow, not the quantity, writes Tom Whitby, an adjunct professor at St. Joseph's College in New York. Try separating your most useful contacts from the main list of people you follow on Twitter, he suggests. "I have a list of what I call my 'Stalwart List.' It is made up of all of the people I most frequently get information from," he writes. SmartBrief/SmartBlog on Education
