How-to’s and link roundups on teaching with Twitter has been done many times before, but the topic is worth frequent revisiting and refreshing, especially in the context of the #FutureEd initiative and the Pedagogy Project by HASTAC Scholars. The goal of this review is to help think through if, why, and how to use Twitter in our teaching and learning – especially for those who remain skeptical. Via Gust MEES

Many in our class are not so sure of the value of twitter. This gave me some more insight into PLNing.

Being an introvert, this has always nagged subconsciously. Shouldn't we learn to manage our own knowledge before we learn to share it?

What is important to you in a PLN? I like to network broadly to continuously challenge and stretch the contexts of my thinking, AND connect specifically with others in K-12 ELL, literacy and professional learning to collaborate in addressing shared challenges.
Thanks for being part of my network!

A beginners guide to Personal Learning Networks (PLN).

I can probably find a better source, but this slideshow is a reminder that students who are self-aware of the PLN they are using are more likely to make strategic choices and learn more of what they are interested in. Creating a PLN based on a specific interest or goal would make an excellent independent study.

Almost everyone has had their social media accounts compromised at least once in the past, where their accounts automatically share scam links to friends and followers.
===> Today’s attack on Buffer <=== showed just how easy it is for a reputable company to cause its users to become victims of social media attacks, despite having done nothing wrong.
It’s hard to know what to do in these situations so we’ve prepared a primer on how you can deal with attacks if your social media account were to be compromised.

Visit the applications page of the social network and remove any apps you don’t recognize. If the account continues to behave erratically we recommend you ===> revoke access <=== to all applications.

Very nice sharing. Thanks
I really like this article because it is very effective at weighing the pros and cons of using twitter in the classroom. Some of the supplemental links are also very helpful to look at and include content on how to teach with Twitter and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that can result from using Twitter in a classroom setting. In general, I believe strongly in helping students to develop global competency (as we have discussed in class) and I believe that Twitter is one of the best and most convenient mediums to do this. While I am slightly apprehensive about how and if it is even possible to use Twitter in an elementary school classroom I definitely see more potential in using it after reading this article.
twitter why and why not discussion with deep links for more.
Good for higher ed
