There’s a whole lot of buzz in the news, on the political scene and elsewhere about micro-blogging with Twitter. As an educator, you decided to join to see what the tweet it was all about.
The good news is that educators CAN use this social media tool to connect with resources & individuals in their profession. Be sure to check out The Top 100 Edu Tweeters who share great resources, information & news about education.
