It's Connected Educator Month, the month where educators choose to actively showcase their connectedness or take the leap to get connected with other educators online to continue professional learning. What does that look like for you? How can you take control of your own lifelong learner status?
The goals of Connected Educator Month Include:
- Getting more educators proficient with social media to improve their practice.
- Deepening and sustaining learning among those already enjoying connection's benefits.
- Helping schools integrate connected learning into their formal professional development efforts.
- Stimulating and supporting innovation in the education field.
I know I've shared with you all how much I get out of being a connected educator (like constantly finding great ideas or connecting with other educators with experience to benefit us), but if you still think I'm just a crazy Twitter lady, here are some video clips/blog posts that show the power of being a connected educator:

Twitter Using Teachers (video clip)
I'd love for you to try something new for Connected Educator Month or strengthen what you already do on Social Media for your personal/professional learning. To make it fun, I'll have copies of the following Tic Tac Toe in your mailboxes.
