I definitely took from today that people LOVE mashed potatoes and that there are many wonderful resources to use on social media that can support educators, but setting healthy boundaries is important. #tch380chat

A6: I think following accounts that help you connect to your students is extremely important. Whether that be activist accounts, politicians, celebrities, athletes, etc. Our students also have interests, so maybe following their favorite sports team or artist. #tch380chat

A5: I think a good way to stay away from social media toxicity is to set boundaries. Knowing when to take a social media break for the day and choosing where and who you turn to on social media. #tch380chat

A4: The main challenges I foresee with using social media to build a PLN is knowing exactly where to turn for successful networking and making sure to stay informed on how to use new technological advances and features on social media platforms. #tch380chat

A3: The benefits I see of using social media to build a PLN is that it allows you to connect with educators from all over the world allowing an exchange of great ideas and skills, the ability to promote student engagement and learning, and learn new pedagogy. #tch380chat

A2: I am not the most comfortable with social media since I only know the basics of each platform. However, I feel pretty comfortable with instagram and rarely check twitter. #tch380chat
