Why twitter?

By Colin Davitt
I found this video on twitter today.  Just give it 60 seconds.


I stand behind my claim.  Give 5 minutes a day to twitter.  Keep that up until winter break.  I promise it will dramatically change how and why you teach.

Disclaimer: Following Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus will void this promise.  Fill your twitter stream with fellow educators.

WHY It is always nice to put a face with a name. Sometimes we need a tiny little reminder of what someone looks like because we don't see them very often. Follow these steps to add/change the image associated with your Google account. HOW Open your email. Click your image. It might just be a blue circle if you have not added something already. Click Change . Find an image you like. Your amazing new image will appear. From now on everyone can put a name to a face!
