First TwitterChat

I had the opportunity to experience my first twitter chat today #edchat.  What an unbelievable learning experience!  This was an incredible sharing and caring experience regarding education and I could only sit and attempt to keep up with the amount of information being tweeted about.  This is week 2 for me in the twitterverse and I can't believe how out of touch I feel in regards to technology after feeling on top of the subject only one year ago.  Our world as we know it has and is changing in leaps and bounds and, as an educator, this is something I am getting on board with now.  Students need to be creators of their own knowledge and sharing information using twitters, blogs, wikis, etc. as tools in conjunction with proper training on how to use (not only how tech wise but how reflectively).  I will be sharing more throughout this year with our faculty at Boone High (who now have their own laptop computers to work with) on how implementation of these communication tools can impact the learning, engagement, and growth of our students.
