In this article, it was created to develop your skills with twitter and create a community on this account with others that are joining the flock. Hadley is the creator of the program in which she shows us how to set up an account and create a bio of 140 words and shows us how to add a picture so that everyone can see us and read some information about us so that they can get a little understand of who we are. She also shows us how to follow others on Twitter and read there thoughts and post. This is the beginning of our new community online with Twitter. This is a great opportunity to get to know people and actually have connections with others that are teachers as well and this is a nation wide community.
How will this community benefit me?
It would benefit me because it will help me as a teacher to get an outside opinion on how to improve my ways of being a better teacher. Not only will i be able to communicate with others that are in my state or other states, but i also get to communicate with others around the world. This would be extremely beneficial for me because i get to understand teaching around the world. This is something that couldn't have been done several years ago and now it is here and all should experience it at least once.

This article expresses how to enhance your twitter experience by using you PLN which is your personal learning network that you have started to create. The article explains how much it has benefited them as well as their classroom in using technology in seventh grade. It goes on to explain how great twitter can be and teaches you how to use twitter to expand conversations rather than ending with a re tweet. this would give many an opportunity to explore the web and develop a better understanding of technology. Many will find it difficult but with patients and a complete set of instructions it can be done.
How will this benefit in my classroom?
Many times in different communities there are times when you have students that have never touched or seen technology that will benefit them with learning. Something that i would do is have technology in my classroom so that it can expand the learning of each student and let them know what is out there in the web. I will also address what is safe and not, so that they get an understanding of safe surfing on the web. This will benefit my class by not limiting the students and their learning. It will also benefit me because i am able to teach my students more and more as technology grows.
