“Twitter” about Teaching

The website Twitter allows users to post very short blogs – no more than 140 characters – always responding to the question, “What are you doing?” Twittering is a quick, fun way to share insights, comments, and reflections. As an author, you’ll soon recognize that you are more aware of what you are doing in the moment. Whether you create real posts on Twitter or just keep a small journal with old-fashioned “twitters”, the exercise will certainly increase your self-awareness of your actions and thoughts – an important trait for teachers striving for excellence.
