10. In Preparation for a session "As a teacher, I've realised Twitter has real potential" - Phil Beadle .The Guardian - 9th March 2010 "h aving access to a ready network of peers means you have the ability to run ideas by people, get them peer-reviewed, so to speak. And if producing, for instance, a scheme of work, or an observed lesson, you can ask for and get immediate feedback as to where the best research has been done on this subject" whilst I was presparing this presentation a Twitter user asked a question. 11 minutes later she had the amount of responses she needed
11. In the session Dallas History Professor, Monica Rankin, has found an interesting way to use Twitter in the classroom. "Rankin uses a weekly hashtag to organize comments, questions and feedback posted by students to Twitter during class. Some of the students have downloaded Tweetdeck to their computers, others post by SMS or by writing questions on a piece of paper. Rankin then projects a giant image of live Tweets in the front of the class for discussion and suggests that students refer back to the messages later when studying. "

It also allows you to follow other teachers or professionals in a certain filed and gain an insight into their professional life. You can be as open or as closed as you feel comfortable.
