      Reading Twitter posts isn't like reading a book.  You don't start at the top and read everything that was ever posted, you need to just set aside a few minutes and 'dip' in and read what is going on and then exit.  Do not get bogged down in making sure you read everything from everyone or you will immediately become overwhelmed and not want to come back!

  • Twitter’s search feature to find people in your field
  • follow educator-related "hash tags."
  • a hash tag is used to organize a live "chat" event, where participants sound off by tweeting about a given topic.

      Love this! If my students are working on something online, they constantly email links back and forth to themselves. This is such an easy way for students to share links and work together without trying to figure out group emails- it can be a lot for a 10 year old!
  • Classes could supplement their textbook with information from the web. Diigo could facilitate student discussions about the bookmarks. Annotations could be used to gauge student thinking.
