I was happy to be able to learn alongside some great folks at the first annual Poughkeepsie Day School "STEM to STEAM" conference... they had terrific questions!

1. Supercharged
Learning with
Shelley Krause
Rutgers Prep
(I’m @butwait on Twitter,
Flickr, Diigo, Blogspot…)

2. Aren’t
you
glad
we’re
here
NOW?

3. The smartest person in
the room isn't the person
at the front of the room.
It's the room.
— David Weinberger

7. Slinging the Lingo
@ = address a tweet to a particular person
DM = direct message; private tweet to someone
who follows you
RT = retweet someone else’s tweet
MT = retweet a tweet with some edits
HT = hat-tip… give someone credit
# = hashtag, to follow a particular stream (#PDSs2s)

8. Okay, that’s a little bit of “how”...
Now, what about
the “why”?

9. From within a dramatically new
information landscape,
the best description
of the 21st Century teacher
is Master Learner.
— David Warlick

10. “Lurking” = listening & learning

12. (HT @VincentDay)

14. Learning is about
connections

17. Figuring Out Who To Follow
Other teachers
Subject-area experts
Professional organizations
Authors
(Who do they follow and who follows them?)

18. “The Internet is
showing us
what it thinks
we want to see,
but not
necessarily
what we need
to see.”
― Eli Pariser

19. A possible “starter set”

Find your tribe...
Find more
educators…
Think outside your
“bubble”...

21. “The best learning is
participatory, open,
and shared…
by default.”
Shelley Krause (aka @butwait)

28. Taking Twitter to the next level
