100 Twitter Followers!!

Okay, so I know some of you are thinking "Big deal! I have 10K followers!" But, for me this is a big deal. One of my goals is to build my PLN using social media. While it would be easy to be intimidated by people with thousands of followers and give up, I'm going to celebrate the small steps building up to that. Also, this is not about trying to achieve some magic number of followers. It is about putting myself out there and learning. 

One of the first books I read this summer was 140 Tips for Educators: Get Connected, Grow Your Professional Learning Network, and Reinvigorate Your Career by Brad Currie, Billy Krakower, and Scott Rocco. It was FANTASTIC! If you're thinking Twitter is too "hard" or intimidating, trust me I know how you feel! Before reading this book, I had lurked on Twitter, but I was not taking full advantage of the learning opportunities available. The book literally takes you through setting up your account step-by-step and goes on to explain all aspects of the Twitter world. I can't wait to share it with my colleagues!
