    A1) I use Twitter primarily for professional reasons. What I had for breakfast doesn't have much to do with teaching or SS. :) #nt2t

    In reply to @EoinLenihan
  • DavidPollardIRL Jun 3 @ 9:10 AM EDT
    A1 I wouldn't share my breakfast on LinkedIn or your CV/resume, so I try to mirror that on Twitter too. It dilutes the value of tweets #NT2t
  • ChouinardJahant Jun 3 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1 #nt2t I really use Twitter for teaching & professional collaboration. Facebook for personal. I see most food posts in Instagram
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    Good morning @Angelssoriano74 ! How are you friend? #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1) Because this is what I had for breakfast so far. Getting breakfast for little one, then jumping into chats... #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • JKatzaman Jun 3 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    Our daughter was touch and go. "I'm not in the group that won't get diplomas" was best double negative I've ever heard. #NT2t

    #nt2t - Gotta cherish these achievements as much as possible
    In reply to @ChouinardJahant
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:12 AM EDT
    A1) Seriously tho, there are better forums for breakfast. Use a Pinterest Board, or Instagram, or Facebook, because it has everything. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:12 AM EDT
    😂🤣😅 That is so funny Jeremy! #NT2t
    In reply to @JeremyDBond
  • TrishKing6 Jun 3 @ 9:12 AM EDT
    A1. For me it's a professional tool. Other Ts, past/present/future employers, parents, students see my style, philosophy, priorities #NT2t
    • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:07 AM EDT
      Q1: Let’s start at the beginning. What’s wrong with sharing what you had for breakfast? I get many “likes” when I do this! #Nt2t
  • EoinLenihan Jun 3 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    A1. Can be just find but many Ts use their Twitter acc. for PD and if you clutter their timeline with food photos they may unfollow. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • JKatzaman Jun 3 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    I've heard over and over don't cross-post, and I've tried to stick to that. #NT2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • CHitch94 Jun 3 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    :) I feel badly if I post the same thing on Twitter and FB as have some friends on both. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • stephwurking - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    Is it unique to Virginia? I guess social media like Twitter can be helpful. #nt2t
    In reply to @kiflygo

    In reply to @ChouinardJahant
  • EoinLenihan Jun 3 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    Yes. I learned a lot from you on this. My twitter is "serious" or business and my FaceBook shows a little more of me. Different. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • Mr_Rosenbaum12 Jun 3 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    switching schools & changing grades. Moving from 11th to 9th. Nervous & excited. Any recs for a smooth transition? @drbillziegler #nt2t
  • bgriffinteach Jun 3 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    A1: I use Twitter for more professional things. My breakfast goes in my stomach, not my Twitter feed. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:14 AM EDT
    Me too, although I used to cross post G+ and Twitter b/c they were all ed posts. #NT2t

    I think it's best to keep SM separate. I use FB for personal things, and T for professional. #nt2t

    I guess it comes down to what purpose does each serve for you. I use each tool very differently. #NT2t

    A2 #nt2t It depends on your focus for Twitter- For me it's teaching so I keep politics to myself & focus on the classroom & students
  • JanineClymer Jun 3 @ 9:17 AM EDT
    A2: I joined Twitter for PD purposes - to learn and share ideas and resources :) #nt2t
  • JNesIT Jun 3 @ 9:18 AM EDT

    • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:16 AM EDT
      Q2: So maybe I should save most of my meal posts for FB; what SHOULD I share about on Twitter? #Nt2t

    A2 Think of Twitter as a cocktail party without food posts. It's great for networking, building connections & sharing worthwhile info. #NT2t

    A2 #nt2t Really if you want to share things then you should-the great thing about Twitter -follow and unfollow if people are uninterested...

    Can't help but think of the "vomit" analogy for much of what ends up in the Twitter universe. So I'm all for leaving food out of it. 😉 #nt2t

    In reply to @kiflygo

    A2. Pin latest blog post to profile. Tweet/retweet ed articles (usually best practice). Share in chats. Try (fail?) to limit politics. #nt2t

    A3: join a chat of interest and try replying to others' ideas. Then add some thoughts of your own. Feedback will come. Ts support. #NT2t
  • CHitch94 Jun 3 @ 9:27 AM EDT
    A3) Lurk for bit, see what others post. See that you have something to offer, too. Your experiences & ideas matter & will help others. #nt2t
  • TrishKing6 Jun 3 @ 9:27 AM EDT
    A3. Turns out I'm far more Shy in real life. Chats show you that you have something to offer & that you can make easy connections #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:28 AM EDT
    A3: Many newbies feel like they have nothing to say on Twitter. How do we encourage them to share & know their ideas are welcomed? #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:28 AM EDT

    Relationships are being redefined by socialmedia, and for Educators, by connecting on #nt2t & so many other Educator chats! Huge PD and fun!

      Communicating & relationships go hand in hand. Social media connects in ways not possible thru distance #nt2t

    This chat here we'll follow these eduheroes right here I just did- inspiration abound Twitter friends #nt2t

    A6) I worry about this as well. However, haven't had much exp with it. If it happens, I will likely report & block. #nt2t
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:53 AM EDT
    Provided it's relevant, of course. Don't just see a trending hashtag and use it to say whatever you feel like. #nt2t
    • EoinLenihan Jun 3 @ 9:51 AM EDT
      A5. Also, if there is a # then there is no butting in. That is an invite to jump in. #nt2t

    A6 Twitter isn't all cheery (but mostly for me). Don't feel like you have to respond to negatives. Reply to positive aspects. Be open. #NT2t
  • JanineClymer Jun 3 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    A6: Respond respectfully, but know not everyone will agree with you. If it escalates beyond that, then report/block. #nt2t
  • bgriffinteach Jun 3 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    A6a: Consider them and respond with a counter, but in a non-attack way. Validate and the present. #NT2t
  • GruntledChalkie Jun 3 @ 9:54 AM EDT
    Q6. Depends on the context but I just leave the conversation alone and don't reply #nt2t Save mute etc for nasty situations
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    A6: Make sure what u perceive as "negative" isn't a cultural difference. Try to view others' opinions as an opportunity for growth #NT2t
  • EoinLenihan Jun 3 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    So true. Keeping the focus is important. If you are an ed account then followers may not care for thoughts on the MTV Awards :) #nt2t

    A6 You can't live life in fear. You have to take chance to learn and grow #nt2t
  • bgriffinteach Jun 3 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    A6b: if it turns into a battle, leave them alone with it. Tell them you agree to disagree and move on. #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    A5) Begin with a single response. If you don't get one back, leave it alone. #nt2t
    • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:42 AM EDT
      Q5: As I read what others post I want to join the conversation but think it is rude to “butt into” their discussion. What do you do? #NT2t
  • higginsb Jun 3 @ 9:55 AM EDT
    A6: is it negativity or just a different opinion??? If a different opinion engaging in Convo may open your own thinking. #NT2t

    I've got to move on. Glad I got to stop by #NT2t Have a great weekend! Go change the world!
  • TrishKing6 Jun 3 @ 9:57 AM EDT
    A6: A challenging conversation sounds great-- growth opportunity for all. You can always walk away too. I've never blocked an educator #nt2t

    Don't be afraid to have conversations or follow issues you disagree with. Twitter should be a learning experience not an echo chamber #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:58 AM EDT
    A6: Negativity is perceived. Take differing opinions and use them as a chance to learn more abt another's POV. #NT2t

    A6 #nt2t I love listening to alt points of view not all are negative simply different but other times naysayers can creep in-I unfollow
  • shyj - Moderator Jun 3 @ 9:59 AM EDT
    A6: Many ppl don't follow others whose view differ from own. How do you grow if u listen to "yourself" all the time? #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Jun 3 @ 9:59 AM EDT
    Awesome! Gets 'em on Twitter I bet. Know what gets them off Twitter? When next year's teacher isn't on. Best when schoolwide. #digcit #nt2t

      A4 #nt2t I have parents sign a media waiver at the beginning of the year asking to Tweet pics- 90% agree so I can keep my classroom visible
