I have to say, Austin Kleon's book was quite enjoyable and made me thing about what I post online, and the value of my posts. While reading, I realize I guess I don't really share much of my "work" so to speak... Unless you count the hours I put into being a good dad. That is what the majority of my posts are about. I don't try to just post cute baby pictures of my kids though (sometimes, but not always...). I do try to make selections that have to do with them learning something or trying new things. It just so happens that they are cute and the pictures turn out that way. This may also be because Instagram is probably my preferred method of posting online so it usually revovlves around an image or occasional video.
Thinking about it from a teacher's standpoint I never really thought about posting the work I am doing. Aside from more or less being made to post for a class I am in for my credential I usually have maintained a pretty solid separation from social media. I have posted insightful tweets on Twitter I have come across but not much more. I do a lot of work for this credential program if you look at classes and homework I do myself in addition to the hours I spend planning for and then teaching lessons. I suppose I have been reluctant to show students in any posts and therefore have not tried to create any "real time" or "action" posts form class. This is something I am thinking about doing now because we do some cool stuff in class.
Another aspect I haven't even thought about is showing my process, although I guess we have been doing that for the class we are in. But with regards to planning for my classes I am teaching I never even thought about how or what to post from my planning process. I still don't have any concrete ideas to share my work but I will be on the lookout moving forward. I just want to make sure it reflects the time energy and passion I have for what I am doing and doesn't waste anyone's time, but I need to be better about putting myself out there.
