Above: See the basics of Twitter for educators presented by Jonathan Werner during one of the recent PLN trainings held for OOB faculty and staff.
The RSU23 Ed Tech Team just completed a series of Twitter PLN trainings. Twitter continues to grow as an amazing multipurpose resource for teachers. Please don't confuse being "connected" as a teacher who must use technology effectively & efficiently, but rather an opportunity to grow as an educator with millions of other educators to work with online. Technology just happens to be the tool that connects you with the online world of educators. Your PLN can connect you to the best instructional & assessment strategies. You can keep up on the cutting edge of education & curriculum from around the world. You can connect your students to experts and guest speakers. You can even collaborate with other classrooms for creative projects. The possibilities are endless! If you are still interested in starting a PLN but couldn't make the training, contact Billy Corcoran (@MisterCMaine) or Donna Stearns (@DonnerStearns).
