<\/a><\/p>\nMy original draft for my action plan post (which clearly did not make it to the published realm) focused on Twitter. I have been excited about Twitter since my first Twitter chat back in the fall of 2014, and I dove in faster to this tool then any other of our Cohort 21 Toolkit.<\/p>\n
I started imagining Twitter for Teachers. Twitter-chats too! Twitter for my students seeing as some of them are getting their friends to tweet out homework already. Twitter as an aid for flipping classrooms… my lists went on… and all of my ideas stayed focused around Twitter.<\/p>\n
Even when I discovered Boldomatic <\/a>(see the above kindness quote from today’s icebreaker)\u00a0and Symbaloo<\/a> recently (exemplar picture below, but both of which everyone in this group should check out!), I thought about how my students could tweet out bold ideas or their research icon maps…<\/p>\n Suddenly, I was invested. Invested in this Twitterific World. I am not by nature tunnel-visioned, but, I was crushed when I was not given the go-ahead from my school to have my students use Twitter in (and out) of my classroom. I had trouble thinking of another idea. I even forgot that my original idea was about getting my colleagues on Twitter to gain some of the skills I have through this experience.<\/p>\n It took today’s F2F morning experience to re-spark my action plan excitement. The problem is not that my colleagues and\/or students are or are not using Twitter — the problems are\u00a0that my colleagues need collaboration and PD, and my students need to be engaged.<\/p>\n So I am now at a bit of a fork in the road. I know Leslie<\/a> mentioned she is looking at two very different options as well, and now I feel like I must either choose my colleagues or my students. So on that note… here are my initial responses from today!<\/p>\n 1. Decide between my two options<\/p>\n 2. Network with Katerina (I’ll update her link soon!) and the rest of the awesome Cohort 21 Crew!<\/p>\n 1. Publish? Next week.<\/p>\n 2. Schedule? Brutal… but that’s nothing new!<\/p>\n 3. Feedback? I always welcome it, especially if anyone has thoughts about which option I should select! But, definitely after I select one and start to run with it (i.e. when my next posting happens!).<\/p>\n 1. Hmmm…. I hadn’t thought about that yet…<\/p>\n 2. Still thinking…<\/p>\n 3. I’ll put this in the next blog instalment regarding my Action Plan!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This was a FANTASTIC DAY! Thanks everyone for all of the sharing and discussions!
