pagetweet.com - spread your message!

I am seriously exploring Twitter, trying to figure out if it is as valuable as so many people feel it is. It has been a couple of weeks and I am only now getting a handle on how this might work for a teacher. I have looked at some apps to keep up with tweets, read a number of articles on how to best use Twitter and how to build a community (will provide links in the links blog). I am beginning to see where it might be useful, I am not sold but not seeing it as a totally dumb thing now. (yes I did in the beginning!) If you are interested there are some good places to find the info you need. I would recommend you explore these options and some of the others I posted in the Technology Links blog, read what people have to say, develop a group to follow and then give it a month or two. It is taking awhile for me to really get into it but it actually could prove to be useful.
the nest site is a list of people to follow, you can find many familiar names here. I started here and then started following others as I found them.
This next article is at the crux of the matter, we are using these tools to learn more, and develop skills.
