Twittering in Education

This is an old web posting: http://www.emergingedtech.com/2010/02/100-ways-to-teach-with-twitter/

But it raises an interesting issue and your chance to correct me.

My impression is that, in Australian schools at least, Twitter, for a variety of reasons, gets minimal use.
Am I right?
By and with students that is, but a different scenario exists with teachers.

Do you Tweet?

Jane Knight lists it as a key tool for professionals

It came out as #1 in her Top 100 tools for Learning in 2010 (and it was #1 in 2009 too)

Where I tweet

• http://twitter.com/#!/@findingmyfuture
• http://twitter.com/#!/@smik09
• http://twitter.com/#!/@smiksa

I found it necessary, even essential, to separate my work and personal personas.
I would describe myself as an occasional tweeter.
I have set things up so that my blog postings automatically get posted into the appropriate Twitter account.
