@ChouinardJahant Me too! The learning curve that is felt at first diminishes quickly once you dive in. And we are all here to help! #NT2t

DerekRhodenizer Sep 24 @ 9:20 AM EDT

A5: Knowing that someone on my #PLN has an answer, and a possible solution. Learning that I don't need to know everything... Priceless #NT2t

mscteach1 Sep 24 @ 9:47 AM EDT

@SFecich That is the plan. I just need get a level of comfort first. This is my first chat. Feeling great! #NT2t

Erin joining late. Was riding my real bike while the weather is nice, and I can't quite handle tweeting on the outdoor bike. :) #NT2t

A6: Look for Ts and classrooms active on Twitter and build relationships and connections with them so you can get help. #NT2t

Stanton_Lit Sep 24 @ 9:47 AM EDT

@ChouinardJahant @shyj Great advice to see where your PLN chats and join in. #NT2t

JeremyDBond Sep 24 @ 9:48 AM EDT

@stephwurking @SDavies_Barnes @DrTerriOU is there a need to keep the professional secret from anyone, tho? #nt2t

ChouinardJahant Sep 24 @ 9:48 AM EDT

@shyj #NT2t A6 Be cognizant of who follows you & who to follow back. I was so excited at 1st to get a follower but often not ED & not for me

butterfli820 Sep 24 @ 9:48 AM EDT

Also - don't be afraid to ask questions! I had such a hard time with all of the abbreviations at first! :) #NT2t

CHitch94 Sep 24 @ 9:49 AM EDT

@ChouinardJahant @shyj Great point. Good practice to check feed of someone who follows you to decide if you want to follow back. #nt2t

ChouinardJahant Sep 24 @ 9:49 AM EDT

@shyj #NT2t A6 It is amazing so keep going & listening & participating. Before you know it you will have swam to the deep end & be diving in

nankr1120 Sep 24 @ 9:49 AM EDT

A6 Be fearless yet in control. Be open to all opinions- it doesn't mean u need to live by them. Follow people that can make u better #NT2T

sueinasp Sep 24 @ 9:49 AM EDT

A6 Dig deeper - follow links, read the articles people share, like, retweet & bookmark, collate, follow & join in. And do yr profile #NT2T

Q7: What would you tell a teacher who uses NO or OTHER social media about Twitter? #nt2t https://t.co/GkwL9EzL06

butterfli820 Sep 24 @ 9:50 AM EDT

@jschwartzcen I love that social media gives our Ps a window into our classroom! :) #nt2t

SFecich Sep 24 @ 9:50 AM EDT

A7 I would say you need to be found online in a positive, professional manner. Twitter is a great way to do that. #nt2t

rhonhigg Sep 24 @ 9:50 AM EDT

I like the succintness of Twitter. I don't feel like people can overshare on this platform. #nt2t

CHitch94 Sep 24 @ 9:51 AM EDT

@sueinasp Yes! Get a good curating tool like Diigo, Pocket, or similar so you can find all the awesomeness when you need it. #nt2t

JeremyDBond Sep 24 @ 9:52 AM EDT

@stephwurking @SDavies_Barnes @DrTerriOU just curious. Don't see my kids' teachers here. Maybe they're not here at all... #nt2t

As @kevinhoneycutt says: to have a pln of thousands at my fingertips puts me at a Huge advantage over those who go it alone. :) #NT2t

shyj - Moderator Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

Excellent advice from @CHitch94 You get so many great ideas/resources that a curation tool is a huge plus! #NT2t https://t.co/sKLIrqfrGZ

A7) Haven't found other platform that allows me to connect so easily w/ other Ts & discuss specific concerns/issues/content. #nt2t

teachmbw Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

A7: tough Q, many resistant 2 social media; I always offer 2 help/share to a point where I hear "Mary and her Twitter" it's all good! #nt2t

Stanton_Lit Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

A7: Teacher not on Twitter? I would quote Anne Shirley, "Oh Marilla, how much you miss." #NT2t

shyj - Moderator Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

@rhonhigg Me too, although sometime I do have to get creative with my spelling-or lack thereof! #NT2t

AnibalPachecoIT Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

A7: Get Connected! You'll be amazed with the learning experience. If willing to start a conversation beyond your classroom walls. #NT2t

nankr1120 Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

A7 21st century skills r not just for Ss. Not having social media interactions is like being in a room and not opening the windows #NT2T

butterfli820 Sep 24 @ 9:53 AM EDT

Twitter is my 24/7/365 best professional development I have ever had. My library has improved for the better since I got connected! #NT2t

jschwartzcen Sep 24 @ 9:54 AM EDT

A7: I would tell them that is the best and quickest way to build connections for new learnings and collaborations. @lifeinroom12 #nt2t

brianrozinsky Sep 24 @ 9:54 AM EDT

A7 If NO, I'd probably ask, "Why not?" If OTHER, I might say, "Have you heard of https://t.co/dXCskKTzRE to sync diff't SM platforms?" #nt2t

JeremyDBond Sep 24 @ 9:54 AM EDT

Some in and out of schools have said they're on Twitter but I think, where? What good is it if we can't find or see you? #nt2t @stephwurking

butterfli820 Sep 24 @ 9:54 AM EDT

@jschwartzcen that is why I have my lmc fb page. That is where the Ps are. :) #NT2t

CollinsBW1st Sep 24 @ 9:54 AM EDT

@shyj @CHitch94 @sueinasp How does a curating tool work? Not heard of those before. #NT2t

CHitch94 Sep 24 @ 9:55 AM EDT

A7) I credit my Twitter PLN for keeping me up to date when I was out of teaching for a bit. Also helped me land current position. #nt2t

DrTerriOU Sep 24 @ 9:55 AM EDT

@JeremyDBond @stephwurking huh? #NT2T If you come to twitter for PD its easier to start clean I guess.

@butterfli820 Same in my area. Thinking of launching a class Facebook page. #nt2t

stephwurking - Moderator Sep 24 @ 9:55 AM EDT

@Stanton_Lit What if we made a list of "how much" they miss? That would be a challenge. #NT2t

mscteach1 Sep 24 @ 9:55 AM EDT

This was me two months ago. I would say using social media for PD is empowering. Learn and Grow! #nt2t

rhonhigg Sep 24 @ 9:56 AM EDT

@teachmbw #NT2t I was the resistant person you're talking about. Twitter is the only platform I'm using & only 4 educational purposes.

CHitch94 Sep 24 @ 9:56 AM EDT

@CollinsBW1st To me, it's tool that allows me to save resources & find them again easily. Can tag & search by tags in Diigo & Pocket. #nt2t

DerekRhodenizer Sep 24 @ 9:56 AM EDT

My best guess is there are over 70,000 educators on Twitter. #nt2t the shear numbers make it an amazing resource

shyj - Moderator Sep 24 @ 9:57 AM EDT
