A1) There are so many Ts on Twitter w/ great ideas. You can get feedback, support, awesome resources, etc. #nt2t

@Stanton_Lit same here, I need to get to the step of doing it! #NT2t

Hi #nt2t. I'm Brian. I teach MS Ss in CO. I'm ~1 year into Twitter exploits. No class account yet; considering as sharing vehicle next year.

teachmbw Jun 18 @ 9:08 AM EDT

@CHitch94 yes, Twitter has been a great resource for me and the best is I can use it when convenient time-wise (and free!) #NT2t

@brianrozinsky Morning Brian. Great to "see" you again. #NT2t

brianrozinsky Jun 18 @ 9:15 AM EDT

A2 1 lever for (eventually) unblocking could be sharing all the value you glean from participating in Twitter outside school firewalls #nt2t

amymitchell136 Jun 18 @ 9:15 AM EDT

Q2: Even if it's blocked at the school, you can find great resources at home or on your phone. It's so quick and easy! #NT2T

Stanton_Lit Jun 18 @ 9:16 AM EDT

A2: Twitter is not blocked for me and this ? makes me sad. But not blocked at home and best PD can be a chat in your PJs. #NT2t

GruntledChalkie Jun 18 @ 9:16 AM EDT

A2) Because you can do a lot of connecting outside of school time... sitting on the couch on a Saturday night after digging all day #nt2t

DianaCParker Jun 18 @ 9:16 AM EDT

A1: I have truly found the value of using social media for growing one's PNL. So grateful to find such amazing support here. #eduu551 #NT2t

Kris from Southwest Fl. Sorry im late, will catch up #nt2t

JKatzaman Jun 18 @ 9:16 AM EDT

A2 A school blocking your account just puts a finger in the dike. The rest of the world -- esp your students -- can see it. #Nt2t

Stanton_Lit Jun 18 @ 9:16 AM EDT

@WilsonWilsonbl Yes, we are not blocked but I have heard of many that are. #NT2t

MrsMsClassroom Jun 18 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A1: to connect with other professionals, help others, and grow professionally #nt2t

CHitch94 Jun 18 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2) Can still access outside of school &, if purpose is for Ss to be able to reflect/respond, they could do so. Have to mind tech gap. #nt2t

Stanton_Lit Jun 18 @ 9:17 AM EDT

@JKatzaman Two yrs ago my district blocked Youtube and Facebook. I couldn't use them but all my Ss could get on. #NT2t

maguire_stephen Jun 18 @ 9:17 AM EDT

Collaboration definitely a value of Twitter. It's good for Ss at least comfortable with chats to collaborate #NT2t https://t.co/XttHMwcSCM

MrsMsClassroom Jun 18 @ 9:19 AM EDT

A2: many social media outlets are blocked but that does not mean we cant grow and learn on our own time #nt2t

stephwurking - Moderator Jun 18 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@brianrozinsky okay - that is something worth exploring - let's delve more into that. #NT2t

Stanton_Lit Jun 18 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@maguire_stephen So many Ts ask me where I found something and the answer is usually Twitter. #NT2t

teachmbw Jun 18 @ 9:20 AM EDT

A2: thought provoking Q, as will Ss still see it as a resource if not usable in school? #NT2t

DianaCParker Jun 18 @ 9:20 AM EDT

A2: Learning and connecting at home. This resource never stops. Its a constant way to seek professional development. #eduu551 #nt2t

JKatzaman Jun 18 @ 9:20 AM EDT

@Stanton_Lit But I guess you could still use social media in your off-duty time. #NT2t

CHitch94 Jun 18 @ 9:21 AM EDT

pnazareth2 Jun 18 @ 9:24 AM EDT

LoriW1088 Jun 18 @ 9:24 AM EDT

@Stanton_Lit @seni_bl Probably makes sense to have class account in that case where you post things more of interest to them. #nt2t
