5 Reasons Educators Should Tweet
It may not be why you think
Why Twitter could make you a better teacher
Leslie Houck, GAVS Social Media Specialist @GAVS_smspec
Many people feel intimidated by Twitter and other social media platforms, so if that's you, you're not alone. But don't let that stop you from the benefits that Twitter and other social media can offer you in the classroom. So, with tongue firmly in cheek, I'm challenging you to "stop being a twit and Tweet!"
Here's why you should be a part of the Twitterverse:
1. It grows your Professional Learning Network.
2. Your students are there.
3. It's a fun, easy way to diversify lessons.
4. It's good for your school.
5. It's FREE.
How should you get started? The Refreshingly Simple Guide to Twitter for Teachers is a good place, and calm that anxiety with How to Stop Being Afraid of Twitter.
