I love the internet… I just ran into this blog that I don’t ever remember having seen before. The writer of the blog is a person that I follow on Twitter… if you could really say I FOLLOW people on Twitter. (NOT REALLY!)
Actually truth be known… I signed up for Twitter A REALLY LONG TIME AGO, but really have hardly ever used it. Once when I was DESPARATE to find a way to bypass the filters blocking YouTube at my school, I put out a tweet for help. My fellow tweeters pulled through. They mostly told me to use ZAMZAR to convert it so I could put it on a flash drive and carry it to school to use… also I could then e-mail the video to myself and the co-teacher for whose class I was working on this project. It ended up working GREAT… I thanked my fellow TWEETERS, but then I have not been back on Twitter since.
Today for some reason, I decided to try Twitter…
OH, I think in some bog post that I read, (SORRY, I still can’t remember who wrote about the site I went to – been running up and down my reader trying to figure it out… can’t!) there was a reference to an article to get K-3 Teachers started on Twitter. I figured that was just what I needed. A Kindergarten approach…
I went to the link and read the information. It seemed straight forward and made it all seem so easy.
So I got onto Twitter.
I started looking at the people I FOLLOW… (I use that term loosely.)
After reading the DIRECTIONS for K-3, I knew that I should look up the web pages of the people I might want to follow. So that brought me to this first blog post whereupon I learned about THE SQUIRREL….
BUT THAT’S ANOTHER POST!
Happy Twittering.
Do you use Twitter? How long did it take you to get hooked? How can Twitter be used at school, even in K-3?

I am on twitter and plurk (which I like even more than twitter because it is easier for me to follow the conversations). I have learned so many great resources from both and feel like I have a support system by being a part of the group. These connections have definitely made my life as a teacher much richer.
Thanks for your comment, loonyhiker.
I am new to "commenting on people commenting on my blog!" I WILL get the hang of this.
I have been spending more time on Twitter recently and have felt I am learning more and more with it.
Thanks for the encouragement.
