This year was our first #Twitter year! I had been avoiding & dismissing Twitter mainly because I didn’t see the value of it. And, with all the crazy #@RT, etc. I thought I would probably really mess it up and look bad… Well, thanks to the wonderful @TracieGCain & Naomi Bates @yabooksandmore and their Twitter Workshops, I was encouraged to try. So, I began lurking, tweeting & chatting and haven’t stopped since :)!!! Because of my Twitter connections, I was able to host @Wandoo Planet and do several guest blogposts. Also, I got a #sweet follow from #YardCrasher @ahmadandahmed 🙂 Looking forward to even more connections next year! If you are not sure about Twitter as an Educational Resource, please give it a try! You can just lurk, which really means “listen”, and watch other educators share resources & ideas. Then, before you know it, you will be jumping in sharing as well. Recently, I was asked to be one of the moderators for #txlchat next fall……and all because of #Twitter! I continue to make valuable, relevant connections on Twitter and am looking forward to some great #txlchats. Join me!
