The power of the retweet – a UNESCO mention for me!
Last week I had a bit of a rant on archaic practices that Teacher Education providers insist on perpetuating. The post generated some comment both on the blog and over twitter but I was totally amazed when I fired up tweetdeck this morning to see this mention:
My blog and UNESCO mentioned in the same tweet. How cool is that? Ok said account is actually a chair at a University sponsored by UNESCO to support elearning (so there was an element of preaching to the choir). Nevertheless I will bask in the awesomeness that a) a bunch of people shared something I wrote and b) the post was worthy enough of a mention by someone with UNESCO in their job title.

Hi Stephanie,
We are glad that you feel so honored after noticing our retweet
In fact, we enjoy sharing the small pieces of knowledge we find around the web. It doesn’t mather if the content we find comes from a world-wide-known guru or not; if we find something interesting, it deserves a RT
Best regards!
UOC UNESCO Chair in e-Learning Staff

Thanks for stopping by. Your comment has me thinking about how the internet and social media has the potential to truly democratize education.
