This link leads to a webpage that identifies useful #Hashtags for those of us exploring the world of Twitter. Twitter hashtags are quickly becoming a necessary tool in organizing the masses of information constantly bombarding us.
As teachers, we ask our students to learn by trying. For many of us more veteran educators, here is an opportunity to model behavior we want our students to adopt. With Twitter and other forms of information sharing that are reshaping how we function in the global society, teachers have an obligation to create opportunities for our students and to learn from our students when needed.
Personally, I worry about whether what I have to say is worth immediate and world-wide publication. Kids do not seem to worry about that. I believe that as long as we are open to criticism and able to use comments and viewpoints as growth opportunities, then the risk becomes a necessary one in order to advance and grow in our profession. We cannot afford to ignore tools that our clients are using already.
So, please take a look at this website and begin to gather and disperse information so we can better understand and utilize these wonderful new tools and the positive impact they can have on the field of education. If we do not control our path, others from outside our field will dictate it. We owe it to our students and our selves to risk a bit and push our own learning.
