Following conference hashtags via Twitter ( #ATD2016 ) is a simple way to see what’s happening. Twitter limits you to 140 characters. Among the criticisms of Twitter is lack depth or context in conversations or messages. You can get snippets and snapshots and other bite-size pieces from conference attendees.

I see it on twitter and I read it in blogs. Example: jump on an L&D or education based twitter chat and ask, “What’s so bad about classroom style learning, I happen to love it.” Try #NT2T on Saturday mornings (New Teachers 2 Twitter) – now there’s a supportive group. Looking for a new education based chat?

This is not to say that I do not need support from drowning in ideas, both good and bad. We all need more of those people. People who keep us honest and question our thoughts.

I hear from you often through twitter, through this site and through email. Twitter and my PLN made it a much less intimidating affair than if I went “cold”. Before we begin: One of the things I love about being a “Learning Rebel” is the network of other Learning Rebels which has been built up through this website!

In past lives, I’ve been known to ruminate repeatedly about a poor speaker review, Twitter comments that are rude or uncaring, or creating anxiety-filled moments thinking about a comment I made – did someone take it the wrong way? For me, I see this trap as the companion piece to “all-or-nothing” thinking trap.
