Social media can be a great resource for teachers to use to better their practice. Through the website, The Educator's PLN The personal learning network for educators, teachers can find an endless amount of fellow teachers' social media networking profiles. Connecting with fellow educators from around the world can allow teachers to give their students the best education possible. One social media network that I would find useful is the Best Practices and Differentiated Instruction group from on The Educator's PLN. This group has a numerous amount of forums with discussions about special education and differentiated instruction. As a special education co-teacher in an inclusion setting, I can utilize this network to connect with fellow special education teachers to discuss methods and strategies to use in my classrooms .
When I first started teaching, getting information from veteran teachers meant walking into the faculty room and asking for help. Today you can get meaningful input from all over the world in your jammies. How life has changed for the better!
