I had been "playing" with Twitter for about 6 months before I actually shared that I had an account. From there, I spent time becoming more comfortable using the tool. After about a year I realized the potential that it held, and found myself trying to work through my personal learning on Twitter (Twitter Chats, following other leaders, etc.) and using Twitter as a way to share out about my school community. Once I hit this crossroad I developed 2 accounts.
I'm finding myself there again. Although I don't write/blog with enough frequency, I do enjoy it. When the opportunity arises to share my personal thinking I find myself hesitant to blog, because my blog was originally developed to be a platform to share information with my school community. I have decided to create this additional blog for the same reason as above - I want to be sure I'm engaging in professional learning activities for myself to maintain a "learner" perspective and grow myself as a lead learner while also using social media tools to communicate with my larger school community.
Of course there will be overlap - as there should be. My personal and professional learning and growing are so intertwined with my work... this is a challenge I will have to learn how to work through!
