Below are my reflections on my discussions in these Twitter chats. It was a very inspirational journey. There are many people working hard to brand themselves and produce and curate great content for the Twitter world. I look forward to using some of their ideas and tools to help myself in my career in education.

A collection of inspirational resources regarding education. I am very fascinated with this approach to personal development. It makes the process, so incredibly fluid and increases the amount of exposure to content from educators. In one post, I replied to Dr. Randall Sampson’s message, “Innovative schools have a clear focus on the continuous development of their teachers.” I have found this to be so true. In my last school there was not vision for development and it has a strongly negative effect on enrollment and morale. I also discovered a useful diagram showing the importance of peer evaluation in education. I replied, reposted and liked posts that struck a chord with me.

Today a question was posed asking teachers what they are reading. It was very interesting to discovered that there weren’t just a random collection of various education related texts being reposted, but that there are a number of buzz titles that were listed several times. Those included, Hacking Leadership by Joe Sanfelippo, Kids Deserve It by Todd Nesloney, and Launch by John Spencer. I was able to like posts feature texts that I would like to read and I shared some of the texts were are reading this summer for the EdTech program.

Today several interesting subjects came up in our chat. One of the most important came from Rita Wirtz (@ritawirtz). She linked to an article she has written having to do with the instance of problem children finding their way into the penal system, because the school system could not save them. I replied at having been inspired by her writing, but I was a little disappointed she didn’t point the readers to any solutions or any resources of groups that are working to address the issues she brings up. I also came across a link to an article on Elie Wiesel. It was a beautiful article. I teach about the history of persecution against the Jews in my comparative religion classes. It is always necessary to revisit Elie Wiesel writings. I appreciated being reminded of his words today on the chat.

During todays on-going chat on education, I found some great content and some inspiring content curators. Alex Corbitt is a teacher in Bronx, NY. Today, he posted an infographic describing 10 characteristics of inspiration creating classrooms. He has a focus on socio-emotional learning and gamification in the classroom. I reposted and commented on the infographic that he posted. Aside from Mr. Corbitt, there is a wealth of resources following this hashtag and a majority of the content to applicable and focused. Twitter does a great job of filtering content that is not suitable for the discussion. The Google Plus communities do not have this benefit.
