This page used to be solely targeted to educators who wanted to learn how to use Twitter and were interested in methods of using it to support teaching and learning. You will still find all of that information below.

However, I also wanted to introduce you to some other social networks educators use for their professional learning networks. You might be interested in viewing or joining one of these, too!
