Twitter - A request post

In June, I'm delivering a session in my school about the benefits of using Twitter for educational purposes. I'll be able to talk about my own experiences, but I'd really like to be able to talk about how other educators have found Twitter helpful/ how you use it (and/or any problems you've found with Twitter)

Please drop your ideas in the comments, or tweet me. I'm hoping I'll learn something new too.

Please share with other educators. I'm hoping to be able to suggest a range of uses for Twitter/things found through Twitter.

Thanks in advance,

Lotte.

Decisions, decisions

So, it's the February holiday and this last half term has been awful.

My last blog post was all 'New Year's Resolution', be positive, take a stand type stuff. Instead, I feel I've been worked into the ground.

Now I'm mostly sad.

Some of this is down to difficult home & health stuff, but school's just been grim. I don't feel a part of my department. I don't feel like a valued member of school. I do feel as though I have a target on my back.

So, at the moment, I'm toying with a few ideas:

1) Do I change schools?
2) Do I change professions?
3) Do I stay where I am and just keep my head down?
4) Do I make a fuss?

With all this in mind, I'm also considering completing my Masters. It'd be a research/pedagogy based project, which requires me to be in a suitable school. The school I'm in now is suitable, but if I sign up for the Masters, I'll be signing up for 3-4 more years in the same school.

So choices to be made and fairly soon.

And I'm still not writing!
