My Twitter Account- Mrs.J.Montana.MRU Teachers, students, and parents can benefit greatly of the advantages offered by using Twitter in education. Twitter is more than just a way to share meaningless tweets about your breakfast cereal or the traffic on the way to school. Who has time for that? For teachers, Twitter can be a powerful tool for professional development via quick sharing with peers and colleagues whom you may or may not know face to face.
Akyaol and Garrison (2011), states that the "internet has become a prominent and essential part of today’s society." How relevant is this quote! For example, look what we are on today - Twitter! As such, it has extended into the domain of teaching and has been used as an educational tool in a variety of ways.
How Will I Use Twitter in the Classroom?
1. I will be using twitter in the classroom to improve instruction, connect with students with the world, and of course keep in touch.
2. Twitter is like a virtual staffroom! Twitter will help me catch up with the PLN (Professional Learning Network). It is a place where I can/will find advice, give advice, find great links, share work, and engage in general musings about education!

Your twitter looks amazing Jorgia, your header banner is adorable. That additional resource you found was such a great support to your post. For next time, maybe share some more specific examples, so I can get a more concrete feeling of how you would use your twitter.
