I have recently began using Twitter for my educational technology class... I can't say it's my favorite resource, but it is definitely interesting. I am finding loads! and I mean LOADS! of educators to follow. I have found some great ones in my content area.
Check out my Twitter, and see who i'm following under my "educators" list.... here: My Twitter
I feel like there are several ways I will be able to use Twitter as a resource. Just through listening to a podcast for class today- mentioned in the previous post - the podcast was done by Tony Vincent - Learning in Hand, and he mentioned how you can hashtag tweets such as tweeting "I found a great resource called blah blah blah" #edapp. By putting the #edapp after my tweet I will be saving my tweet in archives that are keep about educational applications that I can/could put on a handheld device such as an ipod/ipodtouch/ipad/or iphone.
Also, I am now following several educators who provide great resources. To be honest though, it's a bit overwhelming so i'm taking it slow. Go out there and get a twitter though, I assure you you'll never be bored! :)
Oh and please follow me!
