Want to know what Will says is the best professional development tool in his tool belt? Twitter. He was very clear to point out that he doesn't catch everything that goes through his Twitter feed. Eleven years into the 21st century, we have hopefully already resigned ourselves to the fact that we can't learn everything. Don't stress about it, let the feed flow. The task is to (1) know what you need and (2) find what will teach it to you. Choose a few tweets, gain knowledge then move on. Noteworthy education hashtags in Twitter: #edchat <--- All things education. #comments4kids <--- Love this! You comment on students' projects which teachers have posted. Noteworthy education websites: The sites connect you to other people who are passionate about the profession and improving themselves and others within it. From there you can follow who you like on Twitter and visit their websites/blogs. Twitter4teachers—choose your area of expertise and begin learning. You can even add yourself in the mix for free by joining pbworks.com on the twitter4teachers page. I’m in there under “Professional Development People.” Twibes.com—this website is a clearinghouse for different Twitter groups. Click on your preferred topic of interest (mine is the education group).
