I have been on Twitter for a while now. I don't do much but follow on Twitter. I tried to participate in the #spedchat but with a new child has made it hard to find time. I get some great ideas and links to good websites that I ScoopIt. I have also made a list of Norfolk Public School teachers. I have TweetDeck on my laptop and cell phone and use Flipbook on my ipad to continue to follow Twitter.
Tonight I participated in #spedchat again. It was on curriculum for special education. I have found a couple of new people to follow and realized that I am not the only one trying to figure it all out. I am going to make a new list for my sped PLN so that I can send out questions for help when needed.
Learn about my trip of discovery and changes while beign a Special Education Teacher.

You are absolutely not the only person trying to figure this whole Twitter thing out!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you tried participating in a chat again. I've learned a lot in the chats I have participated in and found new people to follow.
I think a good rule of thumb is to give Twitter maybe 10 minutes a day. You don't have to read everything in your timeline, just start reading. You mentioned using Scoop It. Services like that make it easy to send a tweet on a great scoop--so maybe start there. Or retweet something you found interesting from your own timeline. Just 10 minutes a day.
Glad to see you Tweeting!
It does become overwhelming. I choose to only use a couple and stick with that. I like having Flipbook and ScoopIt so if I see something interesting I can mark it and come back when I have time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on Twitter. It's something new but I enjoyed reading the tweets of all the people I follow tonight :) I hadn't even heard of Scoop i or the other two.. Sometime I'll have to try an online chat. I'm glad to read your comments :) Have fun with your little one :D in the remaining vacation days.
