Ask any of the thousands of teachers who regularly use Twitter, Pinterest, or Facebook about connected education, and you may get an earful about using digital tools as a means to connect with educators and students worldwide.

The basic principle of Twitter is that if you follow ten people on Twitter, you will only see the tweets of those ten people. The ideal way to follow someone back is to first examine his or her Twitter Profile, which has public access. There is important information beyond the person’s name and location.

The traditional forms of sit-and-get PD are giving way to MOOCs, webinars, Edcamps and flipped learning. If we take the traditional staff meeting, many times the information shared is just “for your information” or anything that could be posted to a blog or in an email. But what does all that mean? What else would you add?

First, you have your tinkerers who recognize the network potential of organizing information, resources and advice around communities. Teachers in 2017 are more likely to learn from a Twitter chat for education than most “sit and get” professional development sessions hosted by their school or district.

I often see this question in Twitter chats, in keynotes, or when it’s asked of esteemed panelists: “How do we create real , systemic change in education?” We should never underestimate the power of a group of people who are well-informed about the possibilities available to our students.
