Twitter Challenge Accepted!

-

This week I participated in the Twitter Days of the Week Challenge. Each day had a themed tweet suggestion and of course to accompany it, a hashtag. 

This week's challenge has been a special one for me because it helped me reach a person best, this was the most I have ever tweeted in a week before! 

Here is my #SumitupSunday

#MondayMeme: 

#Toolbox Tuesday

#WonderingWednesday 

#ThrowbackThursday 

#FollowFriday

#ShoutoutSaturday 


Something I have struggled with in the past is finding my purpose for tweeting and using twitter regularly to be an active participant, rather than a lurker (my natural tendency).  This week has given me some ideas on ways to engage and post on Twitter. I have also never been more connected to my classmates and engaged in discussion than I have this week! My favourite days were #FollowFriday, as I got some more accounts and people to follow and #ThrowbackThursday, because who doesn't like a walk down memory lane? 

SumitupSunday Personal Takeaways from this Week's Twitter Challenge: 

It's okay to tweet often- I believe Twitter is different from other social media sharing platforms because tweeting is designed for frequent rapid sharing. 

Try to find a balance of engaging with other's tweets as much as you tweet yourself

Short and sweet is how its meant to be


Just for fun, I invite you to leave a reply in hashtags! #LetsGo!

Listening and Viewing for ELLs

Completing ESL courses or an English Language Learners certificate does not always mean you are fully prepared to jump right in and be the best ESL teacher you can be (although that is the wish). Growing your pedagogical practices and learning how to meet the literacy needs of ELLs takes time, resources and collaboration. This blog is a response to someone reaching out to their fellow educators and online ESL teachers community and asking for help.  I have spent 3 years collecting resources and asking for help, because I have been there too: feeling unprepared, confused about the discrepancy between my training and the reality of my classroom and ELLs and discouraged. Don't worry, your feelings are valid and common. It will get better and that starts with reaching out and asking for help. Beginning ELLs (with little language acquisition) participate mainly in listening and viewing activities as they build comfort to explore oral and writ...

What about Web Presence?

Did you know employers aren't googling you to find a reason not to hire you, they are googling you to find a reason to hire you? Gone are the days of googling yourself, making sure that nothing "undesirable" pops up and avoiding anything that might cause context collapse (when people from different communities collide). And ahead of us, are the days of actively building your web presence to take control of your image.  So, what are employers looking for? They are looking to see which candidate has the best web presence (or reputation or brand online). Employers are asking:  "Do candidates have a professional website? Are they engaging with other professionals on social media? Grow Your Digital Footprint  Part of web presence is having a digital footprint (online activities, including social media use), which is created every time we use networked technology.  If you leave your digital footprint unattended however, it may not reflect what you want it t...
