Twitter chats offer numerous advantages for teacher professional development, making them an appealing option for educators seeking growth. access to a global network: one of the most significant benefits of twitter chats is the opportunity to connect with educators from around the world.
Continuous Professional Development Using Twitter Global Edtech We present the first systematic review of the literature pertaining to technology mediated tpd for educators of school aged learners in lmics, aiming to characterise appropriate and effective uses of technology along with specific constraints operating in those contexts. As many schools around the globe suffer cuts to their funding for continuous professional development (cpd), some teachers have taken to twitter as a replacement for formal learning opportunities through conversations, sharing ideas and resources (greenhalgh and koehler, 2017). Purpose : the purpose of this study was to examine pe teachers’ participation patterns within self directed online pe continuous professional development activities using mobile instant. In this research, the authors applied digital methods to analyze 5,425 entries from educators participating in a state level, weekly, synchronous chat about educational technology (#techtalkga) on the social media platform twitter.

A growing number of educators are using the microblogging platform twitter as an easy, low cost alternative to traditional trainings and conferences. We report on teachers’ use of twitter, structural features of their on and offline professional networks, and the institutional policies that shape their appropriation of social media for professional use. Information and communication technology (ict) has opened up a vastly different landscape for continuous professional development (cpd) – one where learning is self directed, collaborative, globally connected, and increasingly free of cost. Education systems face the daunting task of delivering effective continuous professional development to teachers and educators. delivering on this promise can be especially challenging in settings with resource and capacity constraints.
