Educational Technology by Jon Moss
Ed Tech Tweets
I tried out Twitter in April, 2011 after learning about different ways it could be used for professional development. Before that, I (like so many others) thought that Twitter was just another social media site with a bit of trashy reputation. Since I joined Twitter, I’ve completely changed my feeling about the service. Twitter is full of professionals and experts who routinely share ideas, resources, and strategies with fellow users. I’ve learned a lot and try to share valuable resources as I find them. That’s why you’ll find a brief Twitter feed of my recent tweets on the lower-right sidebar on any page, and there’s a link to my Twitter page on the top menubar. If you’re not a Twitter user, here are my recent tweets and retweets. Are you a teacher or education professional interested in learning more integrating Twitter into your best practices? Take a look at a workshop I led in December, 2011 about ways to use Twitter as an educator. I hope this is helpful for you!
