Downes recalls that as child he was told there were 9 planets and now "authorities" claim there are only 8, as Pluto is no longer a planet. But what if you refuse to accept this? Is it okay to continue believing in the "truth" that once was? #TMLConnectivism #Hamilton #Planets

Q3 I could use Twitter to keep students up-to-date with articles relating to topics covered in class. This will help connect learning in my classroom to the "real world". #MindLabChat

Q2 Being an IT teacher, I have always used a mix of digital and traditional learning. Reflecting on my practice, the main difference would be the order in which I would use different media; for example by Flipping the Classroom. #MindLabChat

Q1 - TedEd is a good tool for Flipped Classrooms as you can upload a video, have students answer questions and contribute to discussions before class. There are tracking tools for the teacher to confirm that each student has participated in the Flipped Activity. #MindLabChat

For me, the benefits of using Twitter as an educator are to connect with other educators and IT practitioners to find out what innovations are working in the classroom, what's not working (but has potential) and what new technologies are emerging. #TMLWhyTwitter #MindLabPG
