The networked teacher
Coming to terms with Twitter
‘What started as a few language teachers 'tweeting'
about what they were doing has become well over 100
from around the world. It's quite hard to comprehend
having a virtual staffroom of that many people with
good ideas and opinions. It has led to
teachers publicising articles on their blogs which
ordinarily I wouldn't have seen, I find out about events
for professional development that I wouldn't have
known about, and it has, without doubt put me into
contact with some very influential educationalists who
have taken time to give me guidance and advice.

The Mother of Invention - Make do and mend
teachers should
develop their own
personal learning
network (PLN) using
blogs, forums and
social networking
tools like Twitter.
"There's a strong,
vibrant, supportive
community of
teachers on Twitter,
with many of them
sharing resources
and ideas,"
Joe Dale 2011
