EDTC 300
Tweet alert!5/14/2020 I have had twitter for quite sometime now, but only recently had created a professional twitter account to connect with classmates and other education professionals. To be honest even with my personal account I didn't tweet very often and when I did it was mostly just retweets with no comments. This class has really taught and aspired me to connect to other professionals, to share experience and even just ways to get through social distancing boredom by using twitter. I never thought twitter would be a professional type platform but #saskedchat has really shown me a unique experience. Saskchat allowed me to connect to different teachers or even classmates that I might not have heard from yet! It was great to be able to express my thoughts about each question while also gaining insight to others answers and replies. I think using twitter in the classroom is a great way to share resources, it can connect teachers and students to resources that better the education system/ students learning. Many children and even adults use a variety of social media platforms, connecting with them on something they use daily can be very beneficial to them.

I had the same experience as you- I used twitter but never used it in a professional way. I loved experiencing the #saskedchat and getting connected to other educators. Glad you enjoyed it as well!

I am in the same boat as you with twitter. I have never used it as a professional platform before so that aspect of it was new to me. I have a twitter account, but like you I mostly used it to retweet things. Excited to use it as a professional platform!
