Oh, my twitter name is newnameford, and facebook is dawn stokes keenan-banks
I am a veteran teacher. I appreciate your blog for several reasons. First of all, if there’s a better way of doing something I’m all for it! Secondly, I remember my pathetic teaching from my first few years… it was tough and there was no one to talk to. It’s great to have a place to vent that isn’t your fellow co-workers and your husband. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much for startin this! I love #ntchat because as a veteran teacher, I’m always looking to find ways to mentor younger teachers. When I started, I wish I had a PLN like the one #ntchat offers! Thanks so much for helping us help others! My twitter handle is @mac_ker1 and my blog is brownbagacademics.blogspot.com
I wish there was a #ntchat when I first started teaching. Now, I’m 15 years in (still feeling like a rookie at times), but I know I have a place to go to share ideas, learn from others, and reflect on what it means to be a teacher. There is also a certain “freshness” to #ntchat that is brought to the chat by the excitement of new teachers – a feeling and “freshness” that a teacher of any age or experience needs to remember.

Hi Shawn, Thanks so much for your thoughtful response. 🙂 I’m so glad that you enjoy participating even at 15 yrs into teaching. I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with the new and pre-service teachers who join us. Cheers to you and thank for entering the giveaway!
I learn so many new things, and I love that I can look back on what was said when I miss a night of #ntchat!

So glad you entered the giveaway! Happy that you feel that it can support you!Thanks for your kind words.
As a college grad and soon-to-be teacher, I love the community that #ntchat has. I find the topics are relevant and important conversations for all teachers, but especially ones that are just entering the field of education. #ntchat is one of my favorite chats on Twitter!

New Teacher chat has offered me a way to connect with experienced educators that I otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s been a window into the changing and current world of teaching!
