This post was triggered after reading a few blog posts lately about how “twitter is not the same as it was a few years ago” for educators. There’s no need to mention any names, partly because it’s unnecessary and because there are actually a few blogs out there saying a similar narrative.

These blogs tell educators that Twitter is not as small as it was a few years ago when they joined . That twitter is not about learning and connecting, but rather it’s about self-promotion and self-brags. That people retweet compliments of themselves from others, or retweet their own work that people share etc etc.
