Well, it is almost time! At 1:15 today, I will host a roundtable At the National Council of Teachers of English annual conference with some great educators from across the country on the use of Twitter for professional collaboration. Those of you who visit regularly may remember that I talked about Hash Tag communities this past summer. This is an extension of that concept. The amazing part is that the other educators that I work with are people that I met through–you guessed it–online professional collaboration.
My focus was on getting K-12 teachers to see Twitter as a valuable resource in their professional development toolbox. You can check out my handout and download the PowerPoint that I shared at the session here.

I loved your presentation. You guys were well organized and very knowledgeable. I have signed up for Twitter and will follow my first “Hash Tag” community tonight.
