Twitter for Teachers – a professional development tool

Posted by Paul Hill on Jun 16, 2010 Learning Blog; Exploring Learning

“Twitter is one of the most powerful social media tools to help teachers with their professional development. The video below explains why.”

This is the best explanation and detail of how to make Twitter a valuable tool for teachers. If you have had a tough time figuring out why you should be using Twitter as a teacher, this just might help.

I will be using Paul’s video when I introduce Twitter in my pre-service teachers Technology for Teaching and Learning class this next semester.

    I really like this… but I am finding the youtube video very difficult to hear (especially over my 5 year-old’s cartoons). :) I will try to listen to it on my desktop and see if I can boost the sound. Thanks for sharing.
