Thing 4: Twitter, Facebook & Personal Learning Networks:

Thing 4: Twitter, Facebook & Personal Learning Networks: I had joined twitter years ago, but never used it (found that out when I tried to create a new account!) I've been mostly following accounts. I have found some very good accounts that my students might want to follow too. I teach business in high school so I am constantly in search of great financial management tools for my students. It is very hard to find decent tools for them to connect with.
My students demographics are pretty much this scenario

Child poverty in Rochester ranks third in the nation
and my students are all black males greades 9-12 at risk students.

So some of the things I am following are:
right to tech   and   everyone on

(Yes there is stull a big problem with no internet access at home or no compuet or laptop.
Some school work they can do on their phone but not evefrything.

Another good account I found is
Ed tech chat

I hope to get more interactive with twitter and tweet more in the future.

Hi, I teach at New Beginnnings for the Youth and Justice department in RCSD. I'm very excited to learn more things about technology. I use technology all the time with my students. I also love gardening.Here's my favorite flowers that I grew this summer.
