Twitter

Twitter - My favorite Social Media Tool !!
 
Twitter is the tool for Educational PLNs / Professional Development.. I know many just cannot get into it, but believe me when I tell you it is very useful.  It is not just a chat medium, Although it can be hampered by the 140 character limit, much can be learned from those few characters - primarily those few characters are a link to current awareness tools such as news, magazines, weather, sports & yes  last but not least - educational blogs & experts.  The education field has been an early adopter of Twitter & there is a lot out there... No need to reinvent the wheel.   Conversations are also hosted at various times on Twitter dealing with various groups under hash tags such as #edtechchat  and #1to1ipadchat
 
So watch the linked slide show & watch these two short videos - give it a try!
 
 
Twitter can be accessed on the web, and through various twitter based apps on your cellphone.
 
For more information see me in the library.
