Why Should Educators Join Twitter?

Why Should Educators Join Twitter?

Despite what you've seen in the news about Elon Musk being the owner of Twitter and the very present negatives of the platform Twitter can be a valuable tool for educators looking to stay connected with their colleagues, share resources and lesson plans, and keep up with the latest developments in education. Here are a few reasons why educators should consider using Twitter:

  1. Professional development: Twitter is a great platform for teachers to connect with other educators and learn about the latest trends and best practices in education. By following education leaders and organizations, teachers can access a wealth of professional development resources and stay up to date on the latest research and developments in their field.

  2. Sharing resources: Twitter is a great platform for teachers to share their own lesson plans and resources with others. By using hashtags, teachers can easily share their work with a wider audience and help their colleagues find useful resources for their own classrooms.

  3. Collaboration: Twitter can be a valuable tool for teachers looking to collaborate with others. By following and engaging with other educators on Twitter, teachers can connect with colleagues and share ideas and resources. This can be especially useful for teachers who work in remote or rural areas where access to professional development opportunities may be limited.

  4. Staying connected: Twitter can be a great way for teachers to stay connected with their colleagues and peers, even if they don't work in the same school or district. By following and engaging with other educators on Twitter, teachers can build a professional network and stay in touch with what's happening in the education world.

Twitter can be a valuable tool for teachers looking to stay connected, learn, and share with others in the education community. So why not give it a try?
