4. Alberta Education
ď‚— I follow the Alberta
Education for the ability to
connect with other
teachers and high officials
such as the Education
minister. I know that in the
future when I am an
educator, these connections
will be very important and
will help me voice any
concerns.
5. Alberta Teachers Association
ď‚— I follow the Alberta
Teachers Association
because they retweet real-
life stories about education.
Also, they provide a lot of
news regarding
conventions and interesting
dates.
6. Edtech Services
ď‚— I follow Edtech Services
because they sometimes
tweet interesting web
pages that can most
certainly be used in the
classroom to help teach.
For example they tweeted
50 great ways to use Skype
in the classroom which
could be interesting for
when I am a teacher.
7. Contributions
ď‚— I have followed some important people and groups that are
associated with teachers and teaching in Alberta. The
connections that I have started to make have not affected me
now, but I know that in a few years when I am teaching that
these connections can be useful. For example, by following
Alberta Ed, I am now connected with plenty of teachers who
use Twitter in Alberta. Alberta Ed also connects its followers
to important figures such as the Education minister to whom
we can voice concerns.
