I have been a Twitter user for a few years now, but I never thought about it as a professional tool. I used twitter as a way to keep up with my friends and get sports news and updates. After creating a new twitter handle for my professional use, I was curious how this could be helpful. Surprisingly, I could not believe the number of teachers (even PE teachers) on twitter. After only a week, I found myself using my professional twitter more than my personal twitter. I was getting great ideas left and right.
The people I find most helpful to follow are pegeeks and pecentral. These are not actual people, but it is one of the twitter handles that I found most useful. The reason I liked these two handles is because they are posting non-stop about new ideas for PE teachers to try. They are also re-tweeting great things from other PE teachers out there.
I plan on continuing to use Twitter both professionally and personally. If I can continue to learn the newest ideas in the PE world, why wouldn't I? My plan is to keep building my network of followers to further my knowledge of the education world.
