I am not a big Twitter person and frankly don't see what all the hype is about. Therefore I clicked on this page hoping that someone would enlighten me to the wonderful world of Twitter. I have to say, the author Patti Grayson made some excellent points. She talked about how we can use the site to meet up with people who are teaching our same subjects, and the same grade for chats on Twitter to share ideas. Now there is a useful tool! It also touched on what the hashtags are. #confused....that was me! I see these all the time on facebook and other places but have never experienced anything with them. Man you can even do a hashtag search! Now I don't know that I would go that far, but the chat rooms with people around the country that teach my grade and my subject...I'm in for! #I'monthat! HA HA

I enjoy using twitter. I keep track of different authors, nat. geo. photographers, scientists, and media. It is very interesting to find out first hand what's going on in the world of science from real pioneers like Jane Goodall, Gordon Buchanan, and so many more. Students could really benefit from learning to use twitter in this capacity, it might create more of a "global" attitude in education.
