Unlike The 6 Million Dollar Man, teachers weren't offered a way to become stronger and awesome after a near death experience, we have to figure it out for ourselves. As I work to plan this year at a new and very tiny school, begin my doctoral degree and move to a small town out west, I've been thinking a lot about how we connect to each other.
For one of my doctoral classes, I've been asked to create Google+ and Twitter accounts. Because I am a good student and always looking to learn, I have opened them and started to explore. Those accounts, especially Twitter got me thinking. How can we best use technology in our classrooms?
I'm all for using technology to connect with students and help them to learn and become prepared for the future, I will admit however that Twitter bothers me. From what I understand, anyone can follow anyone else. There is no way to keep worlds separate
(assuming you are a constant Tweeter).
That being said I encourage exploration in the world of technology, you never really know what the best way to help a student may be!
