<p>One way that you can implement this into a classroom, is open it up for the more "technologically sound" parent to follow the twitter feed for the classroom. You can keep them up to date with the classroom going-on's, as well as send out reminders for when big assignments, or major events are due.</p>

Twitter helps you to be connected to people whose learning and background differs from your own. It can bring you into contact with new ideas and help you become aware of new things.

<p>I wrote this blog for harm reduction educators/drug and alcohol workers, about the use of Twitter to share learning obtained at conferences. Hope it is helpful. <a href="http://stonetreeaus.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/drugs-conferences-twitter/">http://stonetreeaus.wordpress.com/2010/12/11/drugs-conferences-twitter/</a></p>

Hi Jon,<br />

I have used the following wiki source and found it helpful from the angle of how to build a professional network or following as a teacher with twitter: <a href="http://ipl.ci.fsu.edu/community/wiki/index.php/Twitter_as_a_Tool_for_Teacher_Professional_Development" target="_blank">http://ipl.ci.fsu.edu/community/wiki/index.php/Twitter_as_a_Tool_for_Teacher_Professional_Development</a><br />

My 5th grade students and I just started using Twitter a couple of weeks ago. For now, we just pick one person per day who will be the designated twitterer. That person just tweets at will about what we're up to at the moment in class. Eventually we will do more with it, but for now, I am just warming them up to the idea of communicating with outside experts and breaking down the walls of the school (We've only had 1 to 1 laptops for a few weeks).<br />

Thank you for this response. I absolutely needed to change my approach to this from "flashy" to seeing the powerful connections. Thanks for that reminder and the great links

Look for pubilcations and groups and associations that tweet and provide great info for a targeted audience. For example, <i>Educational Leadership</i> magazine, from ASCD, had this tweet today:<br />
<b>Ed_Leadership</b> EL challenges Newsweek's controversial story with "The Key To Changing the Teaching Profession." Read our Perspective: <a href="http://bit.ly/dhcAws" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/dhcAws</a><br />

<br />
Also, if you were at a conference and heard a speaker you enjoyed, you might see whether he or she tweets and add that to your list. Educators can follow other educators to create their own professional learning network. Lots of people follow <b>Dr. Howie DiBlasi</b> after hearing him talk about transformational leadership or "You Be The Change" or seeing his favorite websites. He is @hdiblasi. In PA, <b>Jim Gates</b> has terrific tweets. @jgates513 He's one of the ed tech gurus for the state.<br />
<br />
Personally, I also want a global perspective, so I am following some interesting people from Wales, Brazil, Lebanon, Spain, and other places...all people I have never met, but who provide very interesting insights and comments and links ot great info. I have followers from around the world too, which is fascinating!<br />
<br />
Companies are also tweeting. So you can learn news about companies, contests, free offerings, etc.<br />
Here's one today from BrainPOP:<br />
<b>brainpop</b> ISTE-goers: SIGN UP BY MAY 1 to attend our sessions w/Robert Miller, Adina Popa, & Kari Stubbs. Find out more: <a href="http://bit.ly/9IQsE7" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/9IQsE7</a><br />
<br />
My company, ePals, is trying to get teachers to enter a contest and tweeted:<br />
<b>epals</b>: Submit your best ePals projects to our Teacher Ambassadors Contest. Your work could be featured at ISTE 2010! htt<a target="_blank">p://bit.ly/baGDVa</a><br />
<br />
Finally, I thought it would be interesting to ask the teacher here what she ended up with:<br />
RT @langwitches: 5th graders and I are brainstorming HOW they will use a classroom twitter account. Give them some of your ideas. Please RT<br />
<br />
I think it's flashy to have lots of people to respond to "say hello" but it's really more powerful to learn from others.<br />
