Being connected has changed me...
How do I connect?●Twitter●Diigo●Blogs●Google+●Pinterest●LinkedIn●Facebook
This is PERSONAL!
Build your own!
What Will Connecting Do For You?
●Give you access to a range of people and opinions about education.
●Share/learn from others!
●Widen your academic horizon and your range of resources.
Some Game Changers for me & Twitter:
Tweetdeck
You can’t survive without HASHTAGS!
http://www.teachthought.com/twitter-hashtags-for-teacher/
● word or phrase preceded by a “#.”
● a way to aggregate tweets that are appended with a hashtag.
Picture it like a magnet that attracts all messages categorized
by that topical word or phrase.
● When you tweet and want your message to be part of a larger
conversation beyond your followers, add a relevant hashtag!
CHATS: Find one that interests you!
