Facebook lets you decide who you are friends with, but will also automatically allow anyone that attempts to friend you become a follower of your profile. This means students that attempt to friend you might automatically see your status updates.

Memes, true stories, articles… keep an eye on their stream for a good laugh when you need one! Thanks to inspiring and generous teachers on the social media site, my passion for my job has been renewed. For a while, it seemed that my relationship with teaching was going to be short lived the first rush of excitement and energy was gone and in need of resuscitation. But thanks to some of the inspiring educators on Twitter, I have fallen back in love with teaching.
Earlier this year, a colleague historychappy presented a minute continuing professional development session on how to expand your personal learning network. By the end of the session I was convinced by his ideas, and have since found Twitter to be an excellent way to develop professionally.
Over the past few months, I have learned so much, not only about classroom teaching but also about wider educational debates. Whatever resource you are about to make, stop — open Twitter and explore what is already available. The productivity and generosity of teachers on Twitter is inspiring and I have also become more efficient in creating and sharing resources. Collaborating with online colleagues is an enlightening experience and as teachers we should want all students to learn, not just the ones in front of us.
