@zonie71 I've thought about doing that. It's going on my must do list! #DitchBook

@TTmomTT I think we just have to keep showing great examp of how this helps our practice, increase S engage + makes things easier #ditchbook

Route22Edu Jun 9 @ 10:10 PM EDT

.@TTmomTT Many Ts don't know how to grow their PLNs. Ts who do have to spread the word and provide support to beginners. #DitchBook

zonie71 Jun 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT

.@TTmomTT Ss chose video from teachertube & wrote script. Wanted to screencast but nogo. Played vid on screen & kids read scripts #ditchbook

Stanton_Lit Jun 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@TTmomTT One way is to model great practices or resources and when they ask where you found it tell them your PLN on Twitter. #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Jun 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@Route22Edu Many Ts are anti-Twitter #gasp and I'm kinda anti-Facebook but maybe it's a good starting platform. #DitchBook

JoyousScience Jun 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@ehlmstech @SEANJFAHEY We load as much as possible in shared folders in Google Drive. #ditchbook

SEANJFAHEY Jun 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT

.@ehlmstech I also collect resources using @SymbalooEDU and @padlet both are great for collecting resources. #ditchbook

jcarlyq Jun 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@Route22Edu @TTmomTT A lot will not do any social media. #ditchbook

JoyousScience Jun 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@Route22Edu @jcarlyq @TTmomTT I didn't like Twitter at first. Took weeks until I found a critical mass of people to follow. #ditchbook

@SEANJFAHEY I use Instagram for personal and Twitter for professional. Facebook just irks me. Not sure why. #moedchat

ehlmstech Jun 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @SEANJFAHEY yes, use GC but would like for students to move at their own pace. My organization needs more organizing #DitchBook

Route22Edu Jun 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

.@jcarlyq @TTmomTT True. There is still an aversion to social media. #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Jun 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@Route22Edu @jcarlyq @TTmomTT Ts are always calculating time. Many think Twitter will take to much ouf their "ME" time #ditchbook

jcarlyq Jun 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@JoyousScience @Route22Edu @TTmomTT I started slowly. Now I am addicted! #ditchbook

jcarlyq Jun 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@JoyousScience @jcarlyq @TTmomTT I first used TW to connect with Ps and Ss, now trying to transition to PLN. #DitchBook

polonerd Jun 9 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY Agreed. I've found myself using Facebook to post educational things, but overall it's personal #DitchBook

@SEANJFAHEY @jcarlyq @TTmomTT Good insight and oh so true. Ts pushed and pulled in so many directions. #DitchBook

@jcarlyq @Route22Edu Social media isn't bad, only people who make poor choices with it. #DitchBook

@jcarlyq That was a very unique and current PD for teachers. Did it increase their usage? #ditchbook https://t.co/BXYVg7VUDA

@Route22Edu @TTmomTT They see it as 'another thing' instead of the positive influence it has on the growth of our PLNs #DitchBook

jcarlyq Jun 9 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@Route22Edu @TTmomTT districts tell scare stories about it. don't emphasize it as a pd tool. #ditchbook

@Route22Edu @SEANJFAHEY @TTmomTT I told Ts to spend 5 min in morning scrolling through. Just 5 min over coffee #DitchBook

RemScience Jun 9 @ 10:20 PM EDT

When you're changing schools and positions at which point do you change your public identity? #DitchBook

Route22Edu Jun 9 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@jcarlyq @TTmomTT That's unfortunate. It's an excellent tool if used properly. #DitchBook

TTmomTT - Moderator Jun 9 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@ktylercuesd I agree, my Twitter PLN's challenge me every day and they are personal Hmm... a model for how we should teach... #DitchBook

larkscience Jun 9 @ 10:21 PM EDT

I like separating social media uses, helps me get in the right mind frame for the right posts. #DitchBook

JoyousScience Jun 9 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@RemScience What do you mean by "public identity"? #ditchbook

jcarlyq Jun 9 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY I need to figure out how to get our teachers points for that. #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Jun 9 @ 10:22 PM EDT

For all discussing getting Ts connected, LOVE this blog post by @sandyrotto https://t.co/3GxA0sqKov #ditchbook @TTmomTT

I'm working with a tech person at another campus to organize Twitter chats for our district. We hope this increases the PLN. #DitchBook

Twitter for Ts was overwhelming at first because of all the different chats. Ts have to choose which ones will benefit them most. #Ditchbook

@Route22Edu @SEANJFAHEY @TTmomTT That's how I started and it was enough to get me hooked! #ditchbook
