#ISTELive 21 - Day 5

I can't believe it's the last day of ISTELive! My favorite session today was "It’s About How to Pivot: Teacher Educators, Teacher Candidates and Twitter" with  Dr. Sam Fecich ,  Dr. Susan Poyo , and  Dr. Sumreen Asim . I love how they designed their Twitter challenge to support teacher candidates as they learned how to effectively use Twitter to develop their PLN.  My district has a new "alternative" teacher prep program that allows participants with a bachelor's degree other than education to earn their certification while being full-time teachers. I'm curious if we could try something similar with this group to help them connect with practicing educators, find resources, and engage in authentic, self-directed learning opportunities. I'd love to try! Well, that's a wrap on ISTELive this year! I'm looking forward to watching the recordings of the sessions I missed. And I might even try to be brave and submit a proposal to present next yea...
