Abstract

This chapter examines social media as a form of professional development. It sheds light on social media platforms that support collaboration and reflection among educators. The International Society for Teachers in Education (ISTE) continues to stress the importance of teachers possessing skills and behaviors of digital age professionals. This is necessary as educators become co-learners with their students and colleagues around the world. Social networks, such as Twitter and Google+ communities, provide opportunities to move up the Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition Model developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, or offer a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning, as well as professional learning for teachers.
