I have been on twitter for a couple of years now, however it is still new to me. I previously took two classes that required me to have a twitter account and follow educators. I developed a PLN (Professional Learning Network) in both courses. Although I somewhat learned how to use twitter, I never really got a whole lot out of it. It took me out of my comfort zone. I was not required to "tweet" or anything else, so unfortunately, I did not bother to step out of my zone. I know a lot of people who love twitter and I hear all the time how great it is. Well, with my new course that I am currently enrolled in, there are many more requirements that are forcing my out of my comfort zone, so to speak! I am not complaining! As I am learning how to navigate through twitter, I am learning so more more about it and how beneficial it really can be, especially for educators! I am excited about twitter now :) So, I am now following many people, one of whom is Richard Byrne, as suggested by my instructor. One of the sites he listed that I found could be very beneficial to educators is http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2015/03/fivedrop-ways-students-can-share-videos.html?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=freetech4teachers#.VQRKTFappuY. This website talk about how great it is to teach students how to make video's and share their work so that it is viewed by many more people. The site addressees the concern that many teachers face. A lot of schools block youtube on their internet access for students. This site shows teachers how they can help their students share their videos on Google Apps. It lists five different ways for students to share videos. Visit the site for more information!
