I'd like to share with you Rob Lucier's take on Twitter, in his Slideshare presentation "Why is the Fail Whale smiling?"
So why do you use Twitter? If you've just taken it up
what have you liked or disliked about Twitter? What possibilities
for the use of Twitter in educational settings can you see or have
you heard of?
Don't be shy, leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

This weeks Blogging Corner Challenge is Twitter and was set by Michelle Dodd. Michelle has asked some really great questions to stimulate conversation around this very handy online tool.
I started to use Twitter around 6 months ago and right from the
outset I found a truely wonderful group of Educators who instantly
welcomed me into their fold. The thing that struck me the most was
how much these people were willing to share and welcome newbies!
That's the great thing about Educators, they are always willing to
offer support and advice. A community like Twittter is both engaging
and theraputic, you often get a "heads up" on new tools
and tricks from those in the know, but also have the opportunty to
contribute your own thoughts and ramblings. I have even had the
pleasure of meeting some of my Twitter aquaintances face to face at
conferences and workshops.

Recently I have forsaken Twitter for another microblogging site called Plurk. I have to say I actually enjoy using Plurk a lot more than Twitter, as I find the conversations easier to follow and enjoy a greater variety of conversations to join in on. One good thing is that often the same educators who are using Plurk are also Twitter users! The best of both worlds really, though there aren't as many Australian educators who have taken the plunge into Plurk... I think it will catch on eventually though.
So you want to start? The best thing to do is just dive in and give it a go (oh and then join Blogging Corner and let us know how you go!)
