Chances are that if you haven't created your own twitter account, you have at least heard of this social media phenomenon. I myself resisted until I learned that the Texas Education Agency (TEA) was twittering (or is it tweeting?). Although I can't say that I'm Twitter's biggest fan I do see the potential usefulness of this form of "micro-blogging" or "broadcast texting" as I like to call it.

I would have written a useful article on getting started with Twitter for those who are interested in , well, getting started with Twitter; but a quick search on Google shows that there have been many useful article's written already, for example check out this Getting Started article at Adeleie Studios blog.

If you sign up for twitter, your ISD is using twitter, or you know of an interesting education related twitter account, let me know and share the Twitter address here.

Here's some twitter accounts you might be interested in becoming a follower of.
