This article talks about the website Twitter and if it has gotten a good or bad rap. It talks about how educators do not get twitter and that they should read a blog titled "A Cocktail Party filled with Educators." Teachers could use constant collaboration through twitter and get instant feedback on lesson plans. Teachers need to become more tech savvy so that it is easier to connect with students. I am very new to twitter but I believe that it could be a great tool for educators and their students.
How can Twitter be useful from teacher to teacher?
In the article it talks about teacher being able to connect with one other and share lesson plans. Constant collaboration could be used and ideas for lesson plans, and share what each teacher learns in conferences.
Why should educators become "tech-savvy"?
Students are more into technology than ever before. If teachers begin to learn about popular things such as Twitter they could use it in the classroom and students would be more engaged and interested.
