Blog Assignment 12

There is a lot of knowledge to be gained from Twitter, but how can we find people to follow other than those provided by Dr. Strange? A good start is to search hashtags relevant to your field. For example you can try #edchat, #historyteacher, #sschat, etc. Search for a few hashtags that are relevant to your future teaching field and 1)find a link and write a short summary of it and 2) find out what you can about the teacher that posted the link and post it to your blog.



I found this tweet several weeks ago while looking at #sschat. The link is to the History.com Topics page. As a future history teacher this site interested me. I explored the site a little and found an interactive map of Europe that has presentations and videos of several different events during WWII. This will be a great tool to help keep my students interested during class while teaching pretty much anything.

The teacher that posted this link in Kris Larson and can be found on Twitter @LarsonKr. She is an AP Government teacher at Central High School in St. Joseph, MO. Central High School also has a Twitter page that can be followed @CHS_Indians.


I also found this video about the basics of Twitter on Teacher tube.
