Follow, Find, Take

This week's assignment required us to FOLLOW a connected educator on twitter. I stumbled upon David Geurin's twitter account by accident, and I'm lucky that I did.  David started out as a highly motivated basketball coach and worked his way up to being a High School Principal. He recently authored a book about how Social Media can help educators, by subscribing to his blog you can get a free copy! Go check it out . David's twitter account is a gold mine for connected educators, I recommend everyone go click that blue follow button. 

For the FIND part of this assignment, I recommend the blogging tool Grammarly. Grammarly is a plugin for the Google Chrome browser that proofreads your post for you. The free version is plenty powerful but they also offer a paid version that promises, even more, capabilities. 

As for the TAKE action portion of this assignment, I plan on taking part in some edtech chats on twitter this week. My interview with Jimmy Casas inspired me to reach out to other edtech leaders so that I can get involved in the community and better prepare myself for the future. I also plan on doing some renovation to my blog to make it more visually pleasing to my visitors.
