ICT to Inspire with help from Twitter

Posted Monday, February 23, 2009 5:10 PM by kent-teachers

I have been using Twitter since last Summer as part of my CPD and I can certainly say it has not disappointed me. I have made contact with, and built up a network of over 200 teachers around the world, and together we have shared many teaching and learning ideas, websites and resources.

Using Google Docs us 'Twitter Teachers', led by Tom Barrett have contributed to a variety of "Interesting Ways to ..." presentations. Over the months more presentations have been started by other teachers too, incuding Doug Belshaw, Joe Rowing and Mark Warner, and again ideas have been flooding in from 'Twitter Teachers' from around the world sharing their ideas.       

Now all these fantastic presentations have been gathered together by Mark, who has created a special website to host all the documents.

Visit www.ideastoinspire.co.uk  to see what teachers on Twitter have been sharing.

Nice idea for a post Mandy.  If you don't mind I will do a version of it for Devon teachers after we have shared the blog with literacy subject leaders.  I would be really interested to know how many teachers in Kent are on twitter.
