My friend Emory Maiden is the main reason for this change in my viewpoint. Emory tweets hundreds of educational resources, and I look at them and evaluate whether or not they might be valuable to our teachers. I am thinking about blogging my "top tweets of the week" so that I can share with teachers who are not on twitter. I know that kinda defeats the point of twitter but I also know for some people they just won't ever get on twitter, but they might look here and find something cool.
Here's a bunch of things I found on twitter this week:
Spelling City (http://www.spellingcity.com/) (For Language Arts/Foreign Language Arts teachers--It might be a fun thing to suggest your students use to practice their spelling words...(Here's a little video of how it works)
