Learn What you want, When you want and How you want!

   I love learning new things that I can do to improve my students learning and to also improve my teaching!  There are so many things out there where you can get those resources and Twitter is one of those!
   Twitter was where I first discovered the "blogging" world.  It changed my teaching a few years ago.  I was blog stalking like crazy and was getting lots of great ideas/resources.  I would like to get back into Twitter and start following some more Kindergarten teachers and I'm going to find a new search tool, #hashtags!
   #hashtags are a new found thing that people are going crazy with! At first, I thought there were only certain things you could #hashtag, but I was WRONG! There is a #hashtag for just about anything and I'm anxious to search different #hashtags to see where it leads me and to what I can learn out there.  #prettyexcited
   Back when I first was introduced to Twitter, I started following #kinderchat and found I learned a lot from many Kindergarten teachers.  So I wanted to extend my learning by participating in a #kinderchat that was held on Monday evenings.  I participated in about 4-6 of them.  The topics were given ahead of time and we were able to comment about the topic or reply to others tweets.  It was interesting and I learned a lot about Kindergarten in other states.  I would like to see if the #kinderchat is still going on and jump back onto seeing what is going on.  I might just learn something that I was needing!
   Many times I hear about #educamps but I have never participated in one.  They sound interesting and I would like to see if one would come close to our neck of the woods, about attending and seeing what they are all about.
   I'm getting back to learning what I want, when I want and how I want too!  It's just going to take time getting back to what I was used to and finding the time to do it!
