This article was useful to me because I have recently started to use Twitter in my own classroom as a way to get information out to other teachers as well as a tool for me to find other resources. The questions that this article presented for me are how many teachers out there use Twitter? I am constantly trying to find data to support my use, just in case the principal gets a nasty email or phone call about it. I have had nothing but positive thoughts from parents on the use of Twitter, but that could change is the wrong person found out. I have actually became a little more at ease since reading this article. I now have a good resource to finding other links on Twitter and this is something that I can show my principal to support the use of Twitter.

Keefe, This article was useful because it demystified the Personal Learning Network (PLN) usefulness for educational purposes. Some of the questions that the article prompted for me was how to utilize Twitter. I especially enjoyed reading about how Twitter was used for professional research networking. I feel that short tweets can lead to ground breaking theories that have not been presented on the internet. I also noted that there were 38 blog posts for this article. Thanks for sharing your insights. Brenda Janot

Not sure how helpful this is, but I am using this site for my 503 class. It is very much like Bubble, (but not as cool in my opinion). I am struggling with all of the theory and "big words" in my 503 class, but I move forward.

Hi Stephen, the link you provided doesn't bring me to the site... Can you try to repost? Thanks!

This forum is part of a larger site the contains a wealth of forums and literature pertaining to connectivism and other learning theories. It is fun to see Stephen Downes interact with others in a forum setting. I'm hoping to also locate Siemens.
