Twitter Stalking

While I was away I missed out on some interesting and heated debate on social networking tools such as Twitter and Linkin. For some Twitter is simply about stalking people or just plain useless. Maybe for some??? But look who’s using twitter now!

I can only talk from my own experience. I’ve been using Twitter for a few months now. During this time I’ve learn a wealth of information, have shared experiences and built a huge and wide network of other educators and teachers who are also pioneering the use of Web 2.0 and e-learning in their teaching. These people have embraced the concept of Web 2.0 and have shared, collaborated and created with me and others by simply answering the question what are you doing now?

What a great tools to use with our students to do the same. What do you think?

Note: the secret to twitter is to follow the right people. Here some useful lists of leading educators and teachers you may want to follow.
