To Tweet or Not to Tweet

I decided to do an endorsement in Educational technology and part of that is building a PLN (Professional Learning Network).  Much to my dismay, that includes participating in the world of Twitter.  Time to get with the tweets…
Twitter has always struck me as a hot mess of unimportant information.  However, as I have been learning to be very selective in who I follow, I am finding some useful information. I do enjoy the quick and dirty summaries of articles.
If I’m honest I find Twitter overwhelming.  I have started using tweet deck and that has greatly enhanced my experience. I have found that I enjoy the scheduled chats.  I don’t have to check in every week, but if it’s a topic I’m interested in I can jump in and follow.
As I learn to navigate Twitter, I will remember these things:
I can unfollow.
I can log in when I have time.
I can use tweetdeck to sort and categorize.
With these tips, maybe I will come to at least like Twitter.  I’m still undecided.  But until I decide to fly away, you can find me here:
