Thing 4: Twitter, Facebook & Personal Learning Networks

In exploring this topic I realized I am somewhere between Option 2 and Option 3. Because I've had a Twitter page for education for several years now I decided to start with Option 3. However, I rarely use my Twitter page. I explored the Paper.li but found it to be confusing. I liked the 93 Free Twitter Tools and Apps article and  like the idea of data visualization provided by Riffle and SocialBro, but I don't feel like I use Twitter enough to benefit from these tools. Because of this, I went back to Option 2. I really liked the information I was able to find just by searching #edchat and #iteachsecond. While there were many hashtags I looked into, I found these to be the most relevant. One piece of interesting information leads right into another! I followed other teachers with similar interests. I particularly liked #iteachsecond because I liked seeing the way teachers had their students engage with content. Moving forward I will be including these hashtags in my tweets and using them to see what other educators are doing in their classrooms and communities.
