Twitter is a worldwide microblogging platform that allows users to connect with people and organizations from all over the world. Educators have been quick to place content about education on Twitter and an impressive worldwide collection of resources is available for any teacher to access.
Twitter is benefitting teachers now in the real world. There are systems and processes in place that can be used as a model for classroom teachers to explore new curriculum, improved pedagogical practices, and PLCs. Educators can access systems that are already in place on Twitter and expose classroom teachers to established Professional Learning Communities with worldwide resources. Best of all, this is absolutely free. The only cost for this massive resource is the teacher’s time and can be accessed anywhere at any time.
