What a school leader learned on Twitter (in two days).

I am slowly doing it. . . letting colleagues know that I regularly use Twitter to grow professionally.
The reactions are mixed but I'm still sold.  In just a couple days I've picked up a lot.  It's about finding the right people to follow, but I'll list some of them in the future.

REASON 1: Twitter is packed with information (because people like to share).  Just a few highlights from the last couple days.

• Did you know you can use Google Voice to create a unique number for parents and students to get a hold of me? It even sends me emails and transcribes the message! (Can't remember where I read it though -- sorry for not giving credit!)
• The Great Wall of China does end.
• Primary document resources for teaching about other countries rock.
• I learned about "Look fors" when someone tweeted about this App.
• A flipped classroom has nothing to do with poor classroom management. 
• and more, and more, and more and . . . 

REASON 2: It's another tool against education's primary enemy - isolation.

• There are really insightful school leaders, who share regularly. 
• People from all over the country "meet" and anyone is invited.  Feel free to join me for #educoach!

I'm not sure when more of my colleagues will join twitterverse but with information like this how couldn't you!
