With Twitter I feel that I am constantly learning and being inspired in my profession. I have discovered that some of my best Twitter learning moments come from principals, even though I am not one, and I started following a number of these educational leaders. One of my favorites to follow is @ToddWhitaker. I appreciate his positive outlook and forward-thinking point of view. With that in mind I decided to buy one of his books to read for the summer (he has written a plethora). I "tweeted" him for his recommendation as to which book to read and he recommended "What Great Teachers Do Differently." The book arrived in the mail last week, and this week I read a tweet that lead me to a group of other professionals reading the same book and getting ready to engage in an online summer book club. This will enhance the professional development quality of reading the book for me and increase the chances of direct application in my classroom.
