Through the educators I follow on Twitter one of them posted a tweet with this article in it: http://mindshift.kqed.org/2011/03/5-ways-twitter-has-changed-education/
"5 Ways Twitter Has Changed Education" is a great read which helped me view Twitter in a different way. In summary, it lists that Twitter gives students access to information, helps communicate between school and home, it gives educators real-time professional development instead of waiting around for their schools to set something up, creates a personal learning network, and it captures conversations that used to be deemed 'disruptive'.
Looks like I'm going to be using Twitter as an educator! Check out the link and read for yourself why Twitter is ever evolving in our classrooms.
