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

    A1 I try to keep my too much information on Facebook. Twitter is more for kick-back more important info sharing. #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

    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

    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
