Twitter Chats, Books & Blogs. . . Oh My!

A few years ago, Twitter was where I drew the line when it came to social media use.  Well, things have changed!  You can read my post about this revalation if you want.  Here, I just want to share some resources and let you decide if it's worth your time.  
​
​I love using Twitter for the connection, sharing resources, and learning new ideas for teaching, coaching or tech integration.   When it comes to tech integration, I can't imagine how else I'd keep up! Everything I share in this post started with Twitter.  A connection, a book recommended, an idea shared... Connecte Educators are the best! 
​
​ Twitter chats are an amazing way to start!  My favorites are #satchat, #learnlap, #tlap, #plearnchat, #2pencilchat, #edtechchat, #edtechafterdark (although too late for me to do very often).  Check out the Ed Chat list here for more topics and dates.  A few hashtags I follow athat don't have desgnated chats are #innovatorsmindset, #gttribe, and #leadlap, and many, many more!  You can start as a "lurker" until you feel comfortable or passionate enough to share your thoughts publicly.
