Is It Time To Break-up with Twitter/X? - HoET234
Manage episode 379917916 series 2394251
Twitter once brought educators together, providing community and hope when we needed it most. For teachers overwhelmed by the demands of this profession, Twitter was a refuge - a little blue bird that lifted our spirits and helped us find kindred spirits across the globe. Lesson plans were shared, tears shed over budget cuts, and encouragement was offered in a space that felt like home.
This social media giant was supposed to bring people together, not tear them apart. It has abandoned its purpose and soul. The once beautiful Tweet of connection is now a cruel, endless screech. Educators nursed Twitter’s growth from the start, but when profit triumphed over people, it left us behind. Our refuge is gone. Rest in peace, little blue bird.
EdTech RecommendationIntroduces Diffit.me as a tool to easily differentiate texts and generate personalized readings for every student. Highlights key benefits like aligning adapted texts to standards/curriculum, saving time on planning, and helping students access grade-level content.
