I think the thing I like the most is that you can reach out to people (educators, authors, researchers, writers, artists) and engage with them. Don't underestimate the power of tagging someone in a tweet.
Amazing opportunities you never imagined can materialize by being an active twitter user and member of a #PLN!

Have earnestly started using this platform for professional reasons only for about a year. Have gained a lot more insight, access to valuable research, perspectives from educators/admin/school leaders from around the world. Hope to continue expanding on that.
Connecting to brains and hearts from other latitudes amplifies the opportunities for us to see how learning takes places in different contexts; how contexts impact approaches to teaching; and how some educators make magic with little. Do not just follow, engage, ask, challenge.
Teachers, my top tips for using edutwitter, follow fewer people who write blog posts opinionating, and more who share resources. Donβt folllow the obvious racists and sexists. And in that spirit here are some resources Iβve made for science teachers: https://t.co/ZXHOCyO6f2
Thanks for the shout out, @MypClassroom! Love how Twitter connects us all beyond the boundaries of our physical spaces for some 24.7 learning from countless perspectives!
