Twitter Reflection

The first thing that I learned from Twitter was that I was WAY out of the loop of technology. I had no idea of all the different professional learning communities that are out there on Twitter. I did not know all the different benefits that Twitter had to offer such as direct messaging, chats and hashtag to keep you connected with common topics. I was very glad to learn about TweetDeck because with how fast people tweet, I would have missed so many great ideas if I tried to follow everything using the layout of Twitter. I also thought it was very cool the way you could collaborate with people all over the country in a matter of minutes and I thought about how beneficial this was to me but especially for a person in a smaller school district who really doesn't have anyone to plan with.

The most interesting people (more specifically a group) that I followed were the people who posted items on #edchat. I found a number of articles, poster and ideas that I have retweeted or printed off to share during one of my professional learning communities at school.

I think I will use Twitter more as professionally tool then personal. I am the type of person who likes to keep my personal and professionally stuff separated. I use Facebook as a personal tool to communicate with friends.
