Microblogging serves as my main tool for learning new things while I connect with other teachers through the platform. Users of X (formerly Twitter) can quickly find useful content while sharing their thoughts and working with educators who teach in different educational environments. The American College of Education (2025) explains in the Using Social Media for Professional Learning transcript that social media mining helps teachers find reliable sources and convert learned information into classroom-ready practices. Déchène et al. (2024) established that educational Twitter communities serve as vital platforms which help teachers implement research-based methods and facilitate immediate educational collaboration. 

The way I understand classroom technology has completely transformed after following Matt Miller (@jmattmiller) and Jaime Donally (@jaimedonally). Miller’s creative approach and Donally’s focus on AR and VR inspired my students’ Merge Cube and Delightex projects. The authors Liu and Xu (2024) describe how professional learning communities enable digital training to connect with classroom practice which matches my own teaching experience. The Microblogging for Personal and Professional Learning transcript (American College of Education, 2025) and Paliath and Evangeline (2022) both emphasize that digital tools expand authentic learning opportunities. 

Social media has become a community where I learn, grow, and find new ways to inspire curiosity and creativity in my students every day. 

🚀 #TeachBetter isn’t about using more tech; it’s about using it better.
X helps us discover, connect, and apply new ideas that transform learning.
