I am a junior at Austin Peay State University and an aspiring high school English teacher.

If I were to leave a teaching job, I would further my education to be able to become a book editor or work at a local library. #ap3040

A3: I was surprised at how well Montgomery County School Systems paid. I am curious as to how the salary scale is made and why there are such distinct differences in salary in areas so close to one another #ap3040

@JasmineVillers I agree! If one has the ability to share similar experiences with coworkers, the stress seems a little more bearable! #ap3040

A2: Providing new teachers with access to time management classes would help keep them from quitting. Also, it would be beneficial to showcase the true day-to-day life of a teacher when attending college for a degree. #ap3040

@MissShainaWild I agree! They are not warned of the large workload that comes with the job and it hits them like a ton of bricks! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

Q!: Many new teachers quit because they are overwhelmed by the large workload placed on them! #ap3040

@matthew_t_moore @1Lindsey_Hopp This is a great idea! It allows the student freedom while also setting boundaries to keep him/her on task. #flipclass

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

@matthew_t_moore @lanier_katiesue A1: I always enjoyed the teachers who used the #flipclass model much more than the others because I found myself responsible for my own learning and gathered much more knowledge from each lesson.

@SchmidTeaches This is such a great idea! Posting a picture on Instagram that gets 'likes' is the equivalent of having your artwork displayed in an art exhibit for most children these days! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

Q4: It would be interesting to use Instagram as a way of finding out what book a class may want to read next for class. For example, posting pictures of 3 books up for debate and allowing students to comment which he/she preferred to read. #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

@JasmineVillers I agree, it would be much better if users were able to type more than the given space twitter provides! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

A3: I believe Twitter is a great resource to have to grow as a professional #teacher; although, I believe there may be a lot of false information on twitter that may stand in the way when searching for tools, ideas., and other teachers' thoughts and ideas #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

@SavannahTeach I also already have a board on Pinterest full of ideas for my (future) classroom. It is such a great tool for teachers! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

@mshalliewolfe I agree, Pinterest is a wonderful tools for teachers and has endless resources! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

A2: I personally find Pinterest to be the most useful app to connect with other #teachers and to find educational resources. I also use Facebook as a tool to connect with previous teachers of mine who help me when the situation arises! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

@burdetteteach I love how you mentioned a teacher not feeling alone with the use of a digital personal learning network. It is important for teachers to stay connected and help one another out! #ap3040

[Destanee Parker @DestaneeParker]

A1: Having a digital #PersonalLearningNetwork can help connect with individuals one may not be able to meet with in person #ap3040
