Twitter Resources for Educators

I introduced Twitter to a small group of educators at our Summer Professional Development week.  Twitter is an awesome resource and I could have talked and shared for way longer than the hour and a half allotted to me. The people who were there were probably glad I had only an hour and half - I sensed a lot of willingness, but Twitter for Educators is a little overwhelming at first.  This post provides the resources I presented during the workshop and other great stuff from my Twitter PLN.  I'd love it if you'd share your resources and thoughts in the comments to make this a dynamic, growing page.

Resource 1 (drum roll)  Jerry Blumenthal's Cybraryman Website and Twitter Guide

Of course this one is first!  Don't be put off by the plain design of Jerry's site. It is full of information and is T.H.E. place to go for a complete list of educational hashtags and Twitter chat times and dates.

Resource 2 Using Twitter to Build Your Personal Learning Network (PLN)

@rocklandryan  created and shared this presentation and it is a fantastic overview of the nuts and bolts of using Twitter for the first time and for building a PLN.  I've added resources and links through out.

I hope you decide to jump into a Twitter chat soon.  If you do, let me know and I'll try to jump online with you.  Happy Tweeting! Follow me @braveneutrino.  For more on my Twitter journey, read Home Grown and Weed Free.
