Third times the charm.
One day, a few years ago, I felt inspired to get Twitter. Mostly so that I could follow comedians and get a couple laughs. It lasted 24 hours before deleting my account.
A few years later I was asked to try a new form of social media for a multimodal literacies class, so there I went and got it again. Apparently I didn't even confirm my account, because once a week since then I've received a "Confirm your Twitter account Miss Willson" in my inbox.
So here we are. My third try at Twitter. I finally confirmed my account. Let's hope this round goes better than the last two. Third time's the charm, right?
I love the idea of connecting to teachers across the globe and Twitter is a fantastic forum to follow fellow educators.
At this point my account is opened and I am pretty confident I follow a few teachers, specifically a lot of art teachers. But that is about as far as I have gotten. Retweets? Likes? Remembering to check it every day? Not so sure what those mean.. but that will be my challenge for next week.
My plan is to connect on my Twitter at least 3 times a week, as well as read external articles about why Twitter (or other social media outlets) are a great resource for teachers.
