A Bit More On Twitter
Follow the right people - 
We can provide a list
Use a service such as 
Tweetdeck to make it 
more effective
http://tweetdeck.com/beta/
Be sure to create a profile with education and your subject.  Add a picture!
Do not Tweet what you had for dinner.  No one cares.  Share great tools, links, sites, ideas, and ask questions.  People are VERY helpful if you follow the etiquette.
Your followers and the people you follow are your "PLN" - Personal Learning Network.  Follow as many as you like.
