Upon getting on Twitter in 2009, I was not only baffled about how to use the social media site but also about all the symbols associated with it. Before Twitter I referred to this as the “pound sign” on the telephone and only used it as such. Don’t just put your eggs in the Twitter basket. One of them was the hashtag (#).

As 2009 comes to a close I wanted to take a look back and see what post did people visit the most. Each week after an Edchat (held on Twitter each Tuesday at 7pm EST) I do a post where I attempt to summarize the discussion and add some thoughts of my own. 2009 Most Popular Post edchat' What a year it has been!

My unexpected journey began with a decision to give Twitter a try in 2009. Apparently, I was dead wrong on this assumption and quickly learned that Twitter in itself wasn’t a powerful tool, but instead, it was the conversations, ideas, resources, and passionate educators that connected with me. My first thought was, “Heck no!

In March of 2009, I began to use Twitter, and it was at this time that I began to create a Personal Learning Network (PLN). The experiences where I had some level of choice were the most meaningful to me and resulted in real changes to my educational practice. I think the same can be said when it comes to the learners we serve.

You see, prior to 2009 I was adamantly opposed to even the thought of using social media for both personal and professional reasons. This is how I saw social media and mobile technology back in 2009. The epiphany for me was that I saw a professional opportunity in Twitter to improve communications with my stakeholders.

Thankfully this all changed in late 2009 as I discovered the power and value of using social media as a public relations tool. Instead of reaching out to the media to cover these stories, we in essence became the media using mainstream tools such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. Sound familiar?

It was in March of 2009 that I decided to give this social networking tool Twitter a try. Obviously my perception of Twitter early on was completely wrong as it has radically molded me into the leader and educator that I am today. I often marveled at the creative thought and passion that so many educators put into their writing.
