      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!
  • managing the constant flow of information on Twitter.
  • 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.
  • attend one of the many education-related Twitter chats that happen each week, such as #edchat on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. EST.
