Q2. What did you think of it then? 
A2: I liked the real time information and getting notifications on my phone when something was happening in my area.

Q3. How long have you been using Twitter as a PLN?
A3: I started using Twitter as a PLN a couple of years ago after attending a conference.  Several of the presenters shared their Twitter handle and I started following them.  I quickly learned that the information they shared on Twitter was great and relevant to teaching.  It has become my go to resource for new ideas.

A5: It was fast and furious but fun to watch the tweets coming in and being able to see everyone's ideas.

Q6. What advice do you have for teachers new to Twitter?  
A6: There are some great things going on in classrooms and don't be afraid to share those great ideas with others.
