X (formerly Twitter) is one of the major social media websites in 2023.
The Igbo proverb "It takes a village to raise a child," perfectly encapsulates the job of a teacher. Earth is, in itself, a much larger village and as its elders, we are expected to speak to each other and share knowledge to better help our students. Using X, we can keep connected to the world around us, picking up inspiration from other teachers to improve our practice.
The Calgary Board of Education still uses X, as well, to post updates and upcoming plans and being present on it makes for an easier way to keep up with the educational plans of the city. In my future practice, I intend to use X to share interesting resources that I've found and to pick up others from my peers and other teachers around the city and the world.

Hey Jaunelle,
ReplyDeleteI love how you used the Igbo quote to describe a teacher's job. I also enjoy how you mentioned how organizations such as the Calgary Board of Education use Twitter in an effective manner. Do you think that you will use Twitter for other reasons besides finding resources, such as sharing classroom activities in your future practice?
