I’ve been there, Christopher. I’ve seen my own frustration with tweets and chats, and changed the way I tweet to match up with what I believe Twitter “should” be. I’ve also seen teachers brand new to Twitter still get the feelings we had when we first began. (I’m right with you — catching the magic in 2012!) These teachers new to Twitter thrive on those “feel good” chats (that now I really can’t stand — so I just exit politely), and I think it encourages them to take the first steps to change in their classroom. I believe Twitter may stay the same — I think it is US who are evolving. And with that comes the responsibility to do what you suggest. I’ve been doing such. I know you have, too. We will be the next role models! One point you made that just irks the heck out of me — when someone who writes a blog (and of course I follow them using Feedly so I don’t miss a post) tags 10 people in 10 tweets to see their post…… ugh. Sure, if I did that, I’d have a ton more readers, too, but I don’t like to push my writing on others. My response? Ignoring the tweets. If I see the post title in my Feedly, and I want to read it, I go for it. I’m learning how to let my irks go… just like the ones about the myriad wonderful teachers complaining about #NotAtISTE. We’ve got to let them go. Everyone uses Twitter how it works for them. I’ll stick to my TweetDeck (as my feed is nutzoid), and keep trying to make Twitter work for me. Great suggestions — sorry my response is so long!! That must mean you made an impact! :D
