Is Twitter encouraging a type of ‘Arab Spring’ within Education?
Is education's future getting brighter?
This interesting thought occurred during a conversation today.
Are we living through a process whereby social media is finally breaking down
some of the traditional divides that have kept education transformation
suppressed? I suspect we are.
What is twitter managing to do?
- Break down the barriers that have made it
difficult for teachers from different sectors to meet , collaborate and talk - Spawn new grassroots movements such as Teach
Meets where teachers from any background can freely share ideas - Enable quick transfer of outstanding ideas and
practice to anyone interested - Gather a new educational tribe, one that has
education and vision ahead of administration, policy or politics
