Today, I took a huge risk. I presented at a conference, and a technology conference at that! I decided that since I am so passionate about Twitter and how I've used it in my classroom, it would be a great thing for me to present on. Boy, was it nerve-racking being a first time presenter! It made me gain a new appreciation for my students and how nervous they may be when they do presentations for the first time in my class.
But, here's the thing. If I'm asking my students to take risks, shouldn't I be taking risks too?
I took a risk today, and I'm happy I did. It was awesome to connect with so many passionate educators today, as it always is whenever I attend PD. Thanks to all of you who supported me by coming to my session or by tweeting or facebooking about me. I think the presentation went well, and I'm glad that I took that risk.
Here are my slides about using Twitter in the classroom, entitled #iheartsocialmedia
