The Value of Twitter

Twitter has become a powerful tool for many of our world leaders.It also has become a powerful tool for professional learning and connecting online for many educators,being the backbone of many a Professional Learning Network.Some of our  teachers are also beginning to use Twitter as a tool in the classroom.Although I have posted about Twitter in the past, it's worth revisiting, in light of the Twitter workshop held at the Garnsey Campus on the 22nd July.

I thought the links below are worth sharing with you:

• 75% of world leaders are on Twitter

• Through Twitter discussions, teachers can follow the latest in education.Just follow the top 20 hashtags recommended by Terry Heick, Director at Teach Thought

• Although I have previously posted this link, I  thought that those of you who attended the Twitter workshop last Monday might be interested in this Scoop.it on The Value of Twitter

• Jeff Dunn, author at Edudemic has also provided teachers with ideas for integrating Twitter into the classroom using the  Bloom’s Taxonomy.See the infographic above. 
  
   

Lastly, TeachThought and Edudemic have recently  collaborated to produce a spectrum for using Twitter in the classroom.
