Using Social Media for your own Professional Development
This document discusses using social media for professional development. It defines social media and lists popular platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Slideshare. The benefits of social media for educators include finding resources, sharing ideas, following other educators, getting support, and making international connections. Examples are given of how educators use different platforms, including participating in online discussions and conferences. Tips are provided on setting up a Twitter account and engaging professionally through hashtags, mentions and retweets while avoiding personal details. Conference backchannels and education chats are highlighted. Risks like trolls are also addressed.
