 Throughout the past couple weeks I have discovered what a
  great resource Twitter can be. It provides me with so many
  opportunities to gain more knowledge, make connections,
  and provide my own opinions.

 I enjoy being able to make connections with educators and
  others by retweeting and favouriting tweets that I find
  interesting or want to remember for reference later.

 I have been following a variety of accounts including my
  fellow classmates in Edit202, professors, educators, and
  various teaching resources.

 I like to look at tweets with the hashtags #K12, #edchat,
  #edtech, and of course #edit202
