But Dean
Still sounds stupid
"I don't care what you had for lunch"
"It's just a bunch of noise"
"It sounds like a waste of my
time and I'm a busy person."

Why does the world need this, exactly? It's not as if we were all sitting around four years ago scratching our heads and saying, "If only there were a technology that would allow me to send a message to my 50 friends, alerting them in real time about my choice of breakfast cereal."

Twitter saved me $764.13
My parents really appreciate the updates. I try to twitter throughout the day- what we are doing, and student learning outcomes.I teach at a school where the parents are very involved in thier child's education. I find that many of my parents check for updates daily- if not hourly.
My students also like to help me twitter. We talk about what we are doing- and many times they tell me what to post.
It is also great for connecting with other teachers from around the country, and the world. I have seen some great ideas twittered- and have borrowed many of them.
