This week I worked on broadening my media, specifically via my teacher Twitter account @MissCook14. I use this account to connect with colleagues, peers from my MAET program, professors as well as other inspiring educators. My teacher Twitter account is new as of this year therefore, I was not following many accounts. I only had room to grow who I was following versus unfollowing any accounts. Having the task to dig deeper and connect with other accounts provided me with tips, tricks and motivation. Eli Pariser enlightened me more about the discussion of filter bubbles. He discussed the idea that the internet includes "invisible algorithmic editing of the web" (2011). He progressed on and stated that "if I search for something and you search for something even right now at the very same time, we may get very different search results" (2011). These bubbles can cause us to not see the world in the bigger picture and only be exposed to information from one side. It can be important to be aware of these filter bubbles and make an effort to continue to broaden your knowledge and use a variety of media to acquire information. I created a Jamboard including the eleven new accounts that I followed this week, take a look at the image below! These accounts provide me with a variety of educational insights such as comedic relief with teacher meme's, first year teacher experiences, resources for incorporating technology into the classroom, elementary teacher tips and much more. For example, @EdSurge can provide trending technology support for the classroom, while @Bored_Teachers includes relatable and funny content that many teachers experience in a typical day. I look forward to continuing to follow these accounts as well as find others to connect with as I continue to use my Twitter! Resources:
