Personal Learning Network - Twitter UPDATE

Since my first post (Personal Learning Network - Twitter), I've come across a few more great sites on how to use Twitter. The first is a great look at what Twitter is (a way to explain it to your friends):

Micro-blogging - Using Twitter
Advice for teachers new to Twitter
Top 5 Twitter Tips

If you decide to sign up for Twitter, make sure you head to the Twitter4teachers Wiki and add your name. This is a great place to look up others who are in your field and check them out to see if you'd like to follow them.

Friend Feed

Ok, so it's probably a bad thing that I'm up later than my wife. That usually means I just watch a little Thttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifV and veg out. Lately (with the Olympics on), I can't really watch TV because I"m Tivoing it to watch tomorrow with Robyn. That means I spend more time on the computer, and possibly getting myself in trouble. Another new site I have been using lately is called FriendFeed. This website allows you to track what your friends do on many different social/web2.0 sites like Delicious, Twitter, Their blog, Digg, & Google Reader. And this list is not the complete list, there are at least 15 other sites you can track.

The basic gist, is you can see what your friends are doing and check out the same sites if you are interested. It's a great way to find information, and not have to remember it (I tell you memory is not my thing). So if you can't find a link I post, or maybe you just want to see what I am reading about, you can visit my FriendFeed and check out my activity. For now, I think I should get some sleep, only 1 week until new teacher orientation. I have lots to do!
