Using Twitter as an Educator

After using twitter for about a month, I've discovered that I really enjoy following teachers. Most of the teachers I follow tweet everyday, multiple times a day. They retweet others' tweets and in essence, I follow twice as many people just through those retweet posts! Their tweets often contain links to sites, news articles, and other pertinent information. There is more information out there about music, education, technology, and classrooms than I can ever hope to know about, but I like having twitter to connect me to updates from people who are interested in these topics.
