This could be useful for monitoring students tweets, but also if an educator is looking for specific material for students to tweet about.

    Twitter Resource
  •  
    This tool has taught me how popular Twitter has become. I was shocked to see there were 50 resources available for Twitter. Some of these resources can be highly useful for educators to search for key words, obtain the latest information, and stay organized. I especially like the tools that allow you to monitor words and pharses on your account as I am fearful for students posting inappropriate material in their Tweets. Some of these tools allow educators to monitor this material. 50 tools on one website...talk about easy access to learn about Twitter!
