#edchat

This blog post is dedicated to the two weeks I spent observing the #edchat.

Week one- This was the first experience I had with a professional twitter chat, and the professional twitter world in general. I thought it was interesting to see educators keep adding their input in the multiple conversations. It was a little confusing to follow, since there are several comments and opinions to read. An interesting thing I learned was what a PLN is. A PLN is personal learning network in which you add other educators to discuss and learn strategiesideologies, etc inside and outside of the classroom (but always about the classroom). Here are a couple screen caps from the chat: 


Week two- This week I had a much better grip of how to follow a twitter chat considering I had observed three different chat the previous week. I thought the most important part of this chat was the topic of having all voices heard. When I am a teacher, I will strive very hard to ensure all voices are heard. The comments below really resonated with me, regarding making changes after hearing concerns and how some teachers don't like making changes. If changes are what's best, they should be made, and changes should always be considered.
