Twitter Chats To Grow Your PLN

This week I participated in my first Twitter chats. I took part of #educoach on Wednesday at 10pm. I also participated in #atPLC at 9pm on Thursday and #PLC101 at 10pm on Thursday. I had participated in twitter "chats" during conferences, but these were my first REAL chats. I LOVED IT!!!
I wanted to write just a little bit here about how I think they can be beneficial to your PLN.

1. You connect with other educators
2. You can easily ask a question and get a variety of answers from other educators.
3. You can earn PD hours for just chatting with new colleagues and friends.
4. You can find new workshops and conferences to attend.

Teacher Tip of the Day

Tip #3: Be as professional as you can. When you go on an interview, make sure you have a professional bag with you and that your phone is out of sight and SILENT. Wear a nice watch, not one of those chunky ones. Have a business card to help distinguish yourself against the other candidates.
