Using Twitter to Start Your Personal Learning Network
"There is a strong correlation between high-performing schools and the amount and quality of time that teachers spend collaborating with one another. By supporting one another and sharing their knowledge, educators become better than they would be alone. How much more powerful would their collaboration be if teachers could also build relationships and share knowledge with some of the best teachers in the world? That's exactly what Twitter can offer educators"

GroupTweet is a great new tool that allows multiple users to tweet using a single Twitter account. With unlimited users, this is a great way to aggregate tweets for a small school event or for introducing Twitter to students on a small scale. Students or fellow educators can tweet to the account and then one person (student or teacher) could maintain some control over the account. A great tool to start using Twitter in schools.
