Description
For some, Twitter is a place where people talk about themselves, a gallery to show pictures of what they are eating, or a platform for celebrities to make sure they are even more a part of our lives. Certainly, such tweets and tweeters are out there. A simple search of a few key words will reveal a world of misfits, narcissists, and sometimes even worse. This is what I am up against every day--and you might be, too: trying to explain to people what Twitter is and more and more what it is not. And in education, it is especially hard trying to convince Superintendents, School Boards, administrators, and others that Twitter is a viable means for learning about real-time events and a tool by which educators can take part in meaningful professional development.
