It has been a busy spring break for me. The weather has not cooperated to get us out doors so I am using the time to investigate and experiment with some technologies that I have been wondering about. I went to a kindergarten teacher networking meeting a few weeks ago and was re-inspired to look at Twitter as a platform for communicating out our work, learning and ideas. What a wonderful afterschool meeting it was! We discovered iPad apps that connect to Twitter and learned how Andrew Sibbald's kindergarten classes are using this platform to make learning connected and authentic. WOW. Since then I have rediscovered my Twitter account and have taken the 21 Day Twitter Challenge to make it more a part of my professional connection and professional learning. I've come to realize that there is an enormous conversation "out there" that I was tuning out from. Tuning in has been so energizing! Please look me up onTwitter @loriholford I'm not hard to find -- on purpose. I've discovered networks relating to Assessment for Learning, Reggio Emilia, Ed Tech, Leadership and Early Literacy that I'm now following. I hope some of you will join me!Lori
