Staff from 3 local schools looked at Twitter for our 2nd Tech Brekkie. Twitter is a gold mine for educators. Just a little digging around and you can find the most amazing gems. True inspiration from all around the globe.
Twitter – PD, PLN and Collaborative Learning
Visit a few class blogs and you will see a common element, the Twitter icon.
Teachers today use Twitter for professional development, to establish personal learning networks and create opportunities for collaboration with other classes and specialists around the world.
