The other night I was looking through my Twitter feed. I noticed that a bunch of folks were in a chat, so I started following the hashtag #edchatri. As I scrolled through the questions and replies, a quote stuck out from the rest. The quote was from Jenny Grabiec, a Director of Instructional Technology at a private K-12 in North Carolina.

My next professional development is usually found on Twitter. It’s daily. It’s random. It’s frequently amazing ~ Jenny Grabiec

 

She was absolutely, 100% correct. I immediately re-tweeted the quote and then told her how impressed I was by it. Then I noticed it was re-tweeted a few times, and re-tweeted by others. Next thing I notice is that people began favoring it. Just like that. Somehow I was mentioned in the re-tweets, so I know, as of this post, it was mentioned over 100 times on twitter. BOOM!

I asked Jenny if I could blog about her quote. She agreed and I am glad she did. Her quote embodies the spirit of Twitter for professional development. In just a few short characters, she captures why we are connected. It is daily. It is random! It is frequently amazing!

I want to thank Sean Junkins who made the graphic for this prolific quote! Be sure to connect with both Jenny and Sean. I am sure this team has more in store!
