Twitter for teachers

In the last couple of weeks, I've come across a couple of presentations that do a great job in explaining why Twitter is such an awesome CPD tool for teachers. The first is Twitter for Teachers – a professional development tool by Paul Hill.

So, What About This Twitter Thing

The second presentation is by Silvia Tolisano and last but not least there is this one by Liz Davis and Lisa Thumann.

I hope you find them as interesting as I have. For a good explanation of how to re-tweet, favourite and delete tweets on Twitter, this clip does a great job.

Have a look too at the inspiring video clip and VoiceThread from this post on Steve Anderson's blog about what personal learning networks mean to a whole host of educators from around the world. Don't forget to check out the great comments too.

Thanks to Ken Royal for the heads up about Steve's work. Another great connection!
