      Good article for convincing non-tweeters that it is a good tool. For Carla Tech 11, we already know this information.

      I've only used twitter for 2 days, and I have ALREADY created a PLN that is full of ideas.

  • I now turn to Twitter friends for help in the same way that I turn to the teachers on my hallway. Recently, a friend in my Twitter feed pointed me to a great strategy for structuring classroom discussions, a practice I'd been struggling with (http://angelacunningham.wordpress.com/2009/05/teaching-students-to-dialogue.html).

      I can see this being a great use of Twitter.

      this would work!
  • he primary reason for my inability to embrace differentiation as a teacher was that, until recently, I'd never experienced differentiation as a learner. Like most practitioners, I've spent too much professional development time sitting in lectures delivered to entire faculties. No one offered preassessments, tiered lessons, or learning contracts to my colleagues or me.

      Good example of how an educator used twitter to chat with an author. Also detailed her proposal to admin to override the twitter block. Great if your school blocks twitter.

      I wonder how she did this? I think this would be of high interest for my world geography teachers. Would certainly add a new dimension to reporting out on current events in different parts of the world.
  • Teachers and librarians are finding Twitter’s great for research, too. Karen Burns, a librarian at Gig Harbor High School in Washington state, created a Twitter search widget for current events in Africa to help ninth graders with their research projects.
