This was the question that I tweeted out last week. My aim was to gather a few quotes for my upcoming workshop. I’ll be facilitating a session at the next Hong Kong/Taiwan PYP Network gathering (one of my aims for this academic year). The workshop will explore the benefits of being connected for teachers and students (not just on Twitter). This is something that I write about often and talk about even more!

To be honest, my recommendation to get connected is sprinkled throughout this entire blog. I seem to mention it all the time, so much so that I’m running out of new ways to say it. Thankfully, I have a wonderful PLN, jam-packed with educators who feel just as strongly as I do.
Why should teachers be connected and, specifically, why Twitter? I’m gathering quotes and ideas for an upcoming workshop. Please share your thoughts. Retweets will be very much appreciated. Thanks! pic.twitter.com/wC54xRL8Wt
