Even Kathy Schrock talks about it.

69. Why Sketchnote?
We are incredible at remembering
pictures. Hear a piece of information,
and three days later you'll remember
10% of it. Add a picture and you'll
remember 65%.

Think of a book you know well. It can be any
level, personal or professional, anything

Brainstorm some ideas you can use as visual
reminders about the book.
Draw two or three images on a piece of paper
along with the title and author of the book.

129. So I turn to
social media
TWITTER

130. ∗ Strongest growth in any social network
surpassing Pinterest, Reddit, and LinkedIn
∗ Used by 2 X as many women as men
∗ 25-55 year olds is largest demographic
∗ “poor man’s social network”
∗ 60% of all users have some college education

∗ MediaBistro, August 2012
Some Tweet Facts

131. Usage 2007-2012http://www.ignitesocialmedia.com/social-media-stats/2012-social-network-analysis-report/

132. Here is what Twitter says
about online PD/community
All you need to do is ask…

133. Following @donalynbooks would net you
hundreds of others to follow, connect you to
#nerdybookclub and #titlechat and get links to
@educationweek and other blogs

134. Connecting with @readingjunkee gets
connections to @yalsa, nets more people to
follow in the library field, and will also shake out
book titles as must reads.

135. @utalaniz is the queen of RTs. If you miss
something, she will catch it for you. Interesting
links in her posts.

136. ∗ Decreased funding for PD
∗ Distance to events
∗ Time away from work
∗ Can meet like-minded individuals
∗ Makes connections across country and world
Why Twitter?

137. And here is @FrankiSibberson asking us what
we are reading on Mondays. Another
community!

138. And here is Sara’s tweet about Banned Books
Week so we can see what her students do
every day to celebrate the Freadom to Read.
