Excellent post! This is a great tool for all teachers but specifically NQT's. Sometimes the world of social networking can be quite daunting, this is a great piece of work that should be a tool in everybodys kit bag of tips and tricks. I will definitely be referring this to all teachers i speak to. Thank you

You may find this of interest; feedback from the live broadcast I did Monday suggests these tools will be used by many...

Thankyou Chris - it is an older post and I am two years he wiser about
Twitter, but so much is still relevant. I have been planning an updated
version for a while. Cheers for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for tweeting about this post Tom - I missed it the first time around and it is a very thorough and interesting perspective. I love the analogy with a river (I must have been hibernating during the winter!). Twitter has been so valuable to me over the past six weeks or so, as Victorian teachers have been preparing for the #ultranet launch. The ultranet is supposed to be an "on-line network that will give students, teachers and parents 24hr access to lessons, homework, results and attendance". It's been six years and $77 million in the making, but not yet working well. Twitter has allowed communication and sharing between lead users statewide, connecting government-sector teachers in an unprecedented way. Maybe your next post could be about the power of hashtags. Or maybe I should just write that one myself! :)
Best regards and keep up the great work, Britt Gow

Dear Tom,

Thank you for such a thoughtful and comprehensive post. It is full of tips that are helpful for a "newbie" such as myself but I also appreciated how you talked about Twitter's potential and relevance at a deeper level than what I've seen in other articles.

I will definitely save this one in my Delicious files!

An absolut amazing Post and I thank you very much for that wake-up call to twitter.
I just wrote a Post for http://www.blog.initiatived... regarding to your great ideas (maybe google.com/translate might be your friend to read it) - will be published on July 12 or 13.
The main point I will make there, is that we actually have a discussion to bring together the students worlds of living and learning (at school). And what I recognized during reading your post was, that you are using your own twitter network to make it usefull for teaching - or in other words: you mash up you world of living with your world of TEACHING.
That's a great point I will think about quit a few further days. Thanks for that and the great practical hints.

reached this via Terry Freedman - more to think about than a vacationing Maine teacher needs, but worth it. Am going to revisit your words and share with my contacts. I too like your metaphor - nothing wrong with images in the world of words.

Hi Tom,

Your blog post was noted by blogger friend Graham Wegner so I tought i'd take a peek and wander.

Twitter has been just the right platform for me also but of late I'm watching people dig things like Pownce - http://pownce.com/ and also Diigo - http://diigo.com as they integrate and reverse post back to older platforms like Twitter and del.icio.us as an elective or intergrated option.

Your post reveals much of your analysisand feelings for it's potential however i'd like you to also perhaps expand on the notions that Twittering breaches privacy, can constitute a breach of confidentiality due to it's complex urge driven schematics for contribution and perhaps even a little on how you would factor 'friends' from associates, sort-of-knows and who-the-hecks with students or young learners.

You've obviously an avid detailer and so are identity harvesters so have you considered how when in all good intent you've got the momentum up and running how ( in fact could u ?) could you retract given the node effect your professional opinion and path paves for others not so vigilant ?

If so , do you have a term for that all out retraction ? Please add it here - http://twitter.pbwiki.com/T...

I don't get it with twitter.... it simple is a one-line-posting platform.. i can not see how this is of any use... too utterly simple..

Why should i ever want to post one sinlge line?
No one uses twitter here in the netherlands.
