"These are basically educators and teachers who have been actively tweeting in ISTE13."

The handy infographic takes a look at the benefits of using hashtags in your Tweets, and how to optimize using them.

"Get your hashtags ready: Twitter is a far more effective source of CPD than more traditional approaches, research has found. Indeed, teachers believe they derive more from the 140 characters of a tweet than they do from several hours of seminars or lectures. Academics from two US universities surveyed 755 members of school staff about Twitter. They found that the most popular use of the social media website was for CPD, with many praising Twitter's advantages over more traditional methods. Twitter, many teachers told researchers, allowed them to create a virtual staffroom, filled entirely with their own choice of colleagues. Indeed, a middle school English teacher explained: "I have learned so much from other teachers. It has transformed my teaching. And this is my 18th year [in the profession].""

There is increasing discussion about whether Twitter's "real time search" could pose a threat to Google. While Twitter may or may not pose a threat to Google, it is clear that real-time search such as leveraging Twitter is becoming increasingly important. Mark Carye at MTHacks decided to get realtime twitter search results on Google so he created a Greasemonkey user script that does exactly this. It displays the most recent 5 tweets for the query that you are search for, giving both real-time Twitter search results and Google results on the same page. This entry also has some interesting links to the Google/Twitter search debate as well as other ideas related to searching via Twitter.

Now that you are well established on Twitter and following more friends than ever you might like to know those who are not adding to your knowledge or update stream. Twitoria is just the place to check up on how many friends you are really following? By entering your username on the main page, Twitoria finds your friends that haven't tweeted in a long time so you can give them a gentle reminder, (or as Twittoria suggests, the boot!).

paper.li collects and aggregates tweets from your Twitter stream and then categorises them under sections in the fashion of a newspaper. The newspaper is created and updated every 2 hours using all the links (articles) shared in the past 24 hours by the selected Twitter account (curator) AND the people being followed by that user (contributors)

While Twitter is a great online social network, there is a lot of room for improvement in its search interface. If you want to find an old Tweet or entry, then you have to go through many search pages before you find what you are looking for. Twitter search is made much more convenient by SnapBird, an absolutely free Twitter client that lets you easily search the Twitter stream.

In spite of disparaging remarks about twitter I hear at school it is my second most favourite application for gaining access to shared teaching resources and inspiration on the web. perhaps some of these links may open the eyes of the naysayers in our college.
