Building my PLN

I joined Twitter earlier this year after an Inservice about using Twitter professionally and connecting with other educators.  It was then brought up in our monthly Art Teacher meetings. At that point I got on and changed my profile picture from an egg and began following some local art teachers who post about things happening in their art room on Twitter.

Here is my screenshot showing other educators that I follow, though you can't see them all.

I have tried tweeting a few times...11 I guess to be exact.  A few of these tweets are about things my students are doing in my classroom.

What I love about Twitter is that it's super easy and quick to tweet about something that is going on in my classroom.  I think if parents were informed that I was tweeting, they might be interested in having an "eye" into their child's learning.  I also think it's a great way to stay connected wih the other art teachers in Jackson county as well as art teachers throughout the world.  Teaching art is a very isolated career...staying connected with other art teachers is very important to me.
