Global Conference: Twitter for Educators: An Introduction to the Global Collaboration Network

Ashley Cross did a wonderful presentation about how to use Twitter for networking with other educators.


This is the session bio on her:
"Ashley Cross is a Google Certified Teacher and a 2012 STAR Discovery Educator. She is currently working on her doctorate in Learning Technologies at Pepperdine University. Ashley has experience teaching both 1st grade and 3rd grade."

She has a great internet presence her blog here and you can follow her at on Twitter @ashly2499. 

Her session was mostly about how to create a Twitter, what it will be able to help you do, how to use hashtags etc. I thought it was fascinating to see how Lucie and her ideas about Twitter are truly cutting edge; this woman was reiterating all the points Lucie had taken us through earlier in the semester.

 I thought it was especially helpful how she stressed the need for most people to use Hootsuite and Tweetdeck to filter their tweets and display important information.

Since going to this session I feel like I will try to use Twitter to better my understanding of Social Studies tech resources that are available in our ever shrinking world!
