- Setting up a twitter account—one where you are able to express your opinions, and not to have a bunch of kids “follow you”.
- If you are interested but intimidated, let me know I can walk you through this!!
- Find a lot of ideas on who to “follow” (get their tweets) HERE
- Or you can find someone you trust and look at who they follow…that’s what I did.
- Go ahead and follow @lionleaders, or if you don’t get annoyed with a mix of educational and non-education tweets; @cjmcdonald61581
- You can find lots of times were people gather and discuss specific topics HERE.
- As you find blogs you like, bookmark them to visit them periodically—many people tweet a link to their blog posts, so you may have access to many small blogs through twitter.
- Heck, go ahead and create a professional blog of your own! Even if nobody reads the thing is still good documentation or reflection tool (remember, reflection is how EVERYONE learns…)
- Its pretty easy. HERE are the instructions for that.
- Friday 7:15-7:45
- Friday 3:00-3:30
- Wed. 3:00-3:30
- Thursday 3-3:30

Colleagues,
Hope you all had a great break! Christmas will come quickly this year
with such a late Thanksgiving. I have been working with a lot of
individuals. The next couple years we will be continuing to transform
the culture of the school to be more collaborative…it
will be more in the vein of that culture shift to begin meeting with your
teams (and more efficient). If there is a project that needs
tweaking or even discussed, I’d love to come meet during your Team Time.
Keep that in mind! Please don’t
interpret that as me not being happy to meet with you individually, I
would just like to meet with teams when possible.
Over the next week
or two so I hope to accomplish my goal of syncing everybody’s hard drive and
have a file storage strategy discussion with them!
With some
“free time” coming up (Winter break), I thought that people would like to get
a little learning or entertainment in… So. On to Twitter:
A lot of what I
have learned about education and technology has come from my PLN
(Personal Learning Network). This is a series of blogs and twitter
feeds that I follow. I often read about ideas other educators have and
up to date research on the go as I am doing something else. These
resources are always there for me and can fill as little as a couple minutes
or can dive into a couple of hours of interest. I highly suggest that
teachers develop their own PLN.
To do this, I
suggest:
