Twitter Project

For our twitter project we followed teachers as well as other groups related to education. We tried to tweet directly to teachers for advice, but we never received any responses back. However, we did learn a lot from just following what the teachers/groups tweeted about. We learned from one tweet that the biggest obstacle in the classroom isn’t always your students or what happens to them outside of the classroom, it is your mood as a teacher and how you choose to interact with your students. It also provided a list of things that you, as a teacher, have control over everyday such as: facial expression, tone of voice, the words you use, etc. Also, some teachers use twitter to post things that worked well for them in their classroom, experiences they had in hopes that followers will provide feedback, any questions they have regarding lesson ideas or general help they may need. Furthermore, following groups such as the US Department of Education, Scholastic Teachers, and PBS Teachers provided us with information regarding issues, changes, updates, etc. on things that are going on in the world of education. Even though we did not get direct feedback from teachers, we still learned a lot by following them and reading their posts. We feel that using twitter to become connected with other teachers will be extremely beneficial to us in the future as students/professional teachers.

Found this new blog that I think would be great to follow! Its by an English teacher, sharing the ups and downs of the daily life of a teacher. I like this blog because there is a lot of audience/blogger interaction. This blogger gets a lot of comments on her posts.

I also found this blog about a teacher who rants about the everyday issues of being a teacher and about the issues in the news about education. This blogger also has a lot of followers who comment on her posts, which is beneficial to me because I can see her viewpoints and how others respond to it. Its useful because she talks about a lot of government issues related to education and can keep you up to date on the latest happenings.

I think both of these blogs will be helpful and interesting to follow. I can learn about real life issues and hear some funny stories and experiences that teachers have out in the real world. I think this will prepare me on my journey to becoming a teacher!
