Do you just not "get" Twitter? I didn't when I first signed up...didn't use it for months. Now I'm following several people and learning so much and finding so many resources and articles and websites. I've learned that people have found all kinds of uses for it in their classrooms and in their professional lives.

What is Twitter, anyway? How do you get started? What do you do? How do you find people to follow? Do you wonder about these things when you think of Twitter? Well, here's a place to start getting answers.

To get you going, why don't you check out Centre for Learning and Performance Technology's FREE How to Use Twitter for Social Learning? You'll get everything from how to get started to how to find people to follow to ways to use it productively. (While you're there, look around. This is a great site.)

If you want more ideas, check out 31 Interesting Ways to Use Twitter in the Classroom (well, it's 31 today, but the count will be increasing!).

Speaking of "Interesting Ways," you might be interested in my earlier post on Tom Barrett's series.
