Tweeting is a craze that I swore I wouldn't get involved in. Well guess what I was forced by my instructor :). Twitter is addictive just like Facebook, Instagram, and the other countless social websites. I followed the twitter trail (also known as twitter snooping); where you read a RT (retweet) then see who it came from originally. Then you see who they follow and so on, and find yourself following hundreds of people. That was me and not to mention it's 3am; I'm tired but can't seem to quit, and I have to get up in a few hours. I swear I'll go to twitter rehab (where I deactivate my page for a day.....okay a few hours ). It's addictive!!!

My favorite tweets are about being a better teacher. Teaching is truly my passion. I need to find ways to keep my students engaged. Fun education is a must for all students. The best way a child can fully learn is engagement, being comfortable, and having a teacher who is passionate. I HATE HATE worksheets, they are so redundant, boring, and a waste of trees.

As a child field trips were my favorite. I loved going to the Zoo, The Field Museum, and The Museum of Science and Industry. Being cooped up in a classroom and doing worksheets bored the daylights out of me. One of the reasons I became a teacher is to go on field trips forever ;)

One question I know would be asked "where will the funds come from?" There are countless grants for such a thing. We should have zero excuses for our future "THE CHILDREN!!!!!"

Professional Learning Networks

Professional Learning Networks seems a bit overwhelming at first, however once I saw something that hit my interest I was comfortable. I joined http://twubs.com/edchat and the discussion varied. What caught my eye was @schlieske post "What do you believe are the biggest or most common mistakes teachers make? #edchat" My response was @schlieske They are worrying about the wrong things. Students are #1. What happen to the nurturing teachers? #edchat
