Rob Fisher gives a presentation on why teachers should use Twitter. He discusses how Twitter allows information to flow quickly like a river, with too much information to consume it all. As a principal, he uses Twitter to share stories from his school and stay informed on issues in education. Twitter facilitates sharing resources, research, community building, professional learning opportunities, and student project ideas. It can also lead to deeper discussions through blog posts and help connect a personal learning network.
