@mrs_hyde is one of those people. Being deputy principal at a school is not an easy task. Trying to teach kids who are going through both emotional, physical and learning changes all at the same time is a tough ask. And yet at the same time it can be incredibly rewarding (I know this because my daughter is at intermediate school right now).
I am picking that a PLN was probably the way that @mrs_hyde found her way onto twitter. Whats a PLN? It stands for personal learning network. Essentially it is a map of online tools that people can use to interact and learn from others. For a great read about PLN's click here.
That's enough from me. Lets see what we can discover about Mrs Hyde and her twitter life. Mrs Hyde is a mum. How do I know?
Well she has a fabulous daughter who is also on twitter. Her name is @PipHyde. She is lovely, super determined and never gives up. Pip recently walked 145km's with a busted ankle so that she could complete the goal she had set for herself. And another daughter (I think) who has the name
@clodhyde but she is brand new to twitter so hasn't really tweeted yet.
What else?
She plays Minecraft. Well the students play and she just supervises (yeah right - LOL) "Ideas for Using Minecraft in the Classroom http://ow.ly/jm5PM . Thanks
@mrs_hyde has a healthy mix between the number of people she follows and the number of people who follow her. She enjoys engaging in conversation with almost anyone provided you aren't seen to be wasting her time.
She tweets about resources she has found online that can benefit other teachers. "Excellent Google Books Tips for Teachers ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning http://shar.es/eE5D6 via
Because no one teacher knows it all but social media is about the power of community.
In closing I can say that @mrs_hyde is an incredible supporter of those she loves and cherishes. With a mix of both intelligence, patience and determination she has what it takes to be able to make a difference in kids lives. Teach on.
