First and foremost, I would like to say that I am not huge on technology, I can easily figure out how technology and different social medias work, but I hardly every use social media in my day to day life. Snapchat and TikTok are my most frequently used social medias, and while I have Facebook, instagram and twitter, I just never remember to check them or post to them.
Throughout this semester I have had a hard time getting into the habit of posting and retweeting on twitter, but the odd time I do remember to check twitter, I spend a good half hour on it looking through interesting lesson and/or unit plans, fun activities for students, and tips and tricks for teachers. So far, I have already shared some super cool ideas that I found on TikTok with fellow teachers, both pre-service and in-service. The lesson I linked above is posted by two teachers who came up with involving science and decomposition. It works with not only science lessons but English as well. I think when I begin teaching in my own classroom, twitter will turn out to be how I decide to document my journey of teaching, but it most likely will not be a HUGE part of it. I think I would use it to document my failures and successes and to share with other teachers what does and does not work for my class in particular. I may use it to share my lesson and unit plans, and maybe take away from other teachers whether it be some fun and cool ideas, or other things they have shared.
