Diary of a Digital Learning Coach

Missing my regular posts?  I’m still learning, just sharing in a slower, more poolside way! Follow me over on Twitter or enjoy this curated collection of what I’m currently learning about! Like the simplicity and feel of the resource above?  I used Wakelet and it only took me about 3 minutes to curate!  This would be a great platform for sharing learning resources, building a collection of help tutorials or collaborating! What are YOU learning about this summer?  Let me know in the comments and I will add to my collection!

The Coppell DLCs invite you to celebrate Digital Citizenship Week by joining us for a Slow Chat on Twitter starting Monday, October 15 and wrapping up on Friday, October 19. A question will be posted at 7:00 AM each day from  @coppelldlc . Please feel free to answer each question at any point during the day. Make sure to use #cisdchat and #digcit so others can follow along in the conversation.     If you have never participated in a Twitter chat,  here are some helpful tips!   We look forward to learning about digital citizenship with you!

I am often asked, "Alli, how do you keep up with all the things?"  While I stifle my laughter since most of the time I feel like I am drowning just like everyone else, my mind always ends up at Twitter.   I know.  Twitter.   Image Credit: Roobee You either love it or hate it.  To honest, I hated it too circa 2009.  I laughed at people who felt the need to update everyone on everything in their lives.  I just didn't get it. These days, you might say I am slightly addicted to Twitter.  It is my #1 place to get news, professional learning and discussion from others passionate about education like me.  I follow approximately 1,000 people and if I have one beef, it is how overwhelming having access to all that information can be. So here is one secret of how I keep up with "all the things" -  Lists. In my profile, I created lists of people and groups so that I can drown out the noise and filter only information that ...
