Week 2 of the Connected Educator class

     This was a very informative week. I created my first Twitter account and issued my first few tweets. Through Twitter, I am following a couple of educational chats one of which is #Edchat.  You can easily keep updated with #Edchat topics by clicking on the hashtag of any tweet that has "#edchat".  The hashtag in front of a title is used to combine all of the tweets in one place so people can follow specific tweets and focus on the chat in real time. I am also following Steven Anderson (@web20classroom) who created a chat to focus on topics for educators. 

Here is a video to help you get started using Twitter.

 I really feel that Twitter will be a good place for my own professional development and it will be beneficial not only for myself but the other teachers at my school.

 I look forward to following these tweets and learning more about Twitter. Follow my Twitter account @DSchwartzTech.
