Chapter 1-What Connected Educators Do Differently

After reading Chapter 1 from What Connected Educators Do Differently, I realized how important it is to have a PLN.  Twitter is a great way to connect to educators all over the world.  When I created a Twitter account in 2011, I didn't use it all that much.  I found myself just lurking onto what other people had to say and watching behind the scenes. I remembering thinking, do other people really want to hear what I have to say?  Well, with being a BTC for my building, I am encouraged to use Twitter to share what is happening in my school and classroom.  Once I started sharing pictures and ideas I had, people started to retweet and favorite my tweets.  It made me feel important and know people do like what I have to say.  Now, I try to tweet out at least twice a week if not everyday.  It is always nice to see all the other ideas that are out there that I can use in my classroom.  I would have to say I have great foundation of a PLN through Twitter.
