Sow, care, and watch them grow…

Twitter has expanded, and made my abilities to stay connected with educators and fellow pre-service teachers easier. It has provided me with great people through which I have been able to obtain resources and articles.I have been able to retweet topics of interest, share eye-opening articles with others, and stay up-to-date with issues and debates around educational aspects as well as with areas of my own interest such as teaching abroad.The focus of my twitter has been to interact with other professionals as well as friends in order to develop a PLN for myself as a student, a pre-service teacher, and as a citizen of the world.
