As I wrap up the last week of this class, I am so thankful that this has been the most productive month of social media use in my life. I have always held Twitter at arms length, not trusting myself to balance the personal vs. professional use well, and not regarding it as a good use of my time in general. Thanks to the guided parameters here, I feel that I have finally found a good rhythm of engaging with Twitter in professionally positive ways.
I followed up with my lead last week of F-flat Books, and I finished reading the book I bought last week. I emailed one of the co-authors, and I have been in correspondence with her several time snow. I have been listening to their podcast, and I am even working on setting up a conversation to potentially pitch some of my resources for publication.
I am also a part of two Facebook groups now for public school orchestra directors, and I have been gaining a lot of insight into how other teachers operate over the summer months. I'm already getting some good ideas for the fall.
