You see, prior to 2009 I was adamantly opposed to even the thought of using social media for both personal and professional reasons. I swore that I would never be on any social media site and became disgusted when friends and family brought up the topic. Here is what I now know and believe.

Many people in education talk a great game when it comes to the effective use of technology, but the results (lack there of) speak for themselves. This should be the norm, not the exception.”

For some reason any post with Twitter in the title does not do well with a general population of educators. Social media as a source of professional development has yet to catch on in large numbers among educators. Whom should I follow on Twitter and how do I find them are key questions that need to be addressed.

As technology continues to evolve it will continue to become an even more embedded component of society. An added bonus is that there are so many free tools such as Twitter, Google+, blogs, Facebook, and Remind that are free for all to use. To use social media effectively, you need to see yourself as a learner, not just a leader.
