Tweet, Tweet -- Join Us on Twitter

I've been using twitter for years on a personal level, but I only recently discovered how amazing twitter is on a professional level.  I set up a new twitter account for professional use, and I've been wondering what took me so long.  On twitter, I've found dozens of great ideas to try in my classroom, I've collaborated with teachers and other professionals within the district, and I've had conversations about education with teachers from all over the world.  And I do all of this while making lunch for my daughters, watching TV, or doing the laundry.  The great thing about twitter is that you can do it when you have time.  Some days I tweet a lot, other times I don't tweet for days.  The conversation is always there, though, so you can participate in professional conversations on your terms.

So often our professional conversations are limited to SIP days and trainings.  With twitter, I've been able to develop as a professional on a daily basis.  Professional conversations have become such an organic part of what I do every day.

Since I've had such a great experience with using twitter as a professional, I would love to have some more early childhood teachers from our program join the conversation!
