Twitter can be an excellent tool to help us improve our teaching and learning experiences. The amount of ‘stuff’ that is shared through Twitter every second is simply mind-boggling. The beauty of Twitter is that you only need to see that stuff that is of interest to you. By using ‘hashtags’ and ‘following’ you only see who and what you are interested in.

This, of course, has massive benefits both for CPD and teaching topics where certain hashtags will reveal all associated tweets and certain followers will only Tweet about things they are interested in. You can begin to connect with educators and learners across the world and your learning will benefit hugely.

By following certain likeminded people who share the same areas of interest, you can begin to filter Tweets to your preferences. Here at Our Cloud, we ‘follow’ fellow educators with an interest in technology and the document we recommend here was found through Twitter. Great stuff! We see updates and sharing every second from people who are all passionate about technology in learning and that’s why Twitter is such a powerful tool for sharing.
