I was prompted to write this post when I read a comment on the new People for Education Ning “Schools at the Centre.” John Borst from Tomorrow’s Trust was asking questions about twitter. I hope that this post will offer an insight into what Twitter is all about. It is a bit of a learning curve to compact your life into 140 characters but that is exactly what you are asked to do. Keep it simple. Communicate often. Sign up for a free account and please follow me on www.Twitter.com/lornacost. Follow the people that I follow and read their blog posts and you will be totally amazed at the power of social networks. Help complete a personal learning network around student achievement. From time to time I do talk about my dog.
Here is a common craft video explaining how to use Twitter. Once you have navigated your way there will be one thing I know for sure, you will be able to communicate with your children in a language they think you do not understand.
