#edchat
I don’t know how I have missed #edchat via Twitter since last July, but it’s an incredibly valuable resource and opportunity in my opinion. If you’re not familiar with Twitter…. In short, at any given time, there’s a variety of education topics being discussed by educators via Twitter posts; the “hash tag” #edchat is included in each post, so it makes it possible to search for and find any posts included in the larger discussion.
Shelly Terrell (@shellterrell) posted a more lengthy description of #edchat on her blog.
More information is also available at an EdChat Wiki.
The video below by Shelly also describes #edchat.

Last Minute Professional Development
about 3 years ago - No comments
Tweet An idea for your thoughts and input. When asked by a colleague about Twitter, my most frequent comment is that it is “the most indispensable professional development tool” I have and use.
