Twitter | Teachers TV
Tom Barrett is a Year 5 classroom teacher, ICT Subject Leader and Assistant Headteacher in a large primary school in Nottinghamshire. He has been blogging about the implementation of technology in his classroom for over three years at ICT In My Classroom and has been using Twitter since 2007.
Twitter has quickly become the social network of choice for thousands of teachers and educators. While Facebook provides a wide variety of ways to create and interact with each other online, Twitter uses a simple 140 character message only.
It is this simplicity that attracts many teachers to the vibrant network, but Twitters simple nature belies the powerful impact it can have. Once connected with teachers and educators from around the world, it has the potential to bring a wide range of benefits to your teaching role.
This list from the ever prolific Tom Barrett lists 15 ways that he uses Twitter in and out of the classroom.
