It has been beautiful this summer along the Bay! It is quite refreshing after the LONG and stormy winter months. You would think it would be a given for California to be warm and sunny in the summer, but not in the Bay Area. It is usually cold, until October.
I am enjoy a nice evening on the deck with work, my homemade cinnamon roll, and a smoothie. Mila, the kitten, is laying next to the screen door, because she is attached to Momma... kittens.. sweet kittens. So! Have you wanted to make and drink smoothies more often to ensure you are getting more fruits and veggies, however, the blender is too noisy in the morning--or mornings are just out of the question? I am here to help!

Growing your PLN (Professional Learning Network) is nothing near of easy and fast. It takes time, knowing the resources, and problem-solving as you go. I have reflected on the beginning stages of my personal learning with growing my PLN, and hope they would help you as well. What my overall experience using Twitter, blogging, following blogs, and other social media tools are.
With this ever changing and evolving world, technology is becoming more vital for people. Jobs require more technology based skills, phones are more technology integrated, cars have technology built in, just to name a few. Students can easily learn these skills outside of the classroom; however, where are they going to learn HOW to respectfully navigate through technology and have good digital citizenship? Where are they going to learn different tools, apps, and the much needed growth mindset when it comes to learning new technology? I had the awesome opportunity to interview Leah Cleary of Secondary Resources for Social Studies and English this past week. We discussed blended learning and a little about building your PLN and blog. Check it out!
So, what exactly is a Twitter Chat?
A Twitter Chat is basically that-- a chat that happens on Twitter. It is a little different than normal chats, because you don't go into a Chatroom to have the chat. The chat happens within the Twitter feed and with the use of a hashtag (#). The hashtag allows the answers to your questions to be seen by all the people in the chat. This post is designed to shed some light on the Twitter chat process and how it works, because frankly, I was confused to no end at the beginning. I was able to catch on merely by observing other people's answers, and simply trying something to see if it would work. |
