Look, I'm learning!

It's been a great experience to spend some time reading information for professional development. I don't usually take the time to search for these types of sources, but this class has given me the opportunity and motivation to make the time. Just today I came across some really useful information.

I found this source that I can use in my 21st Century Journalism class as we are currently discussing First Amendment rights. I think that this source could also be used with my ELA classes to encourage my students to think for themselves and to practice expressing their views in a thoughtful format. I can easily see them using the blog feature of Student Voice to practice the rhetorical strategies we've been reviewing.

This source, "The Twitteraholics Ultimate Guite to Tweets, Hashtags, and all Things Twitter", will be really useful in my Newspaper class as we continue to explore how to use Twitter as a reporting tool. I'm also going to share this guide with our school librarian who has been working with us on maximizing our Twitter presence.

And that's just been today!
