0 Still Trying to Figure Out Who to Follow on Twitter?

Trying to figure out who to follow on Twitter can be a task all in itself. Honestly, If you are like me, I could not care less when someone is getting their haircut or what they are eating at that moment. I want to follow folks who are relevant to my interest (which of course is.... educational technology related tweets). Here are a few suggestions on trying to figure out who to follow on Twitter.
Consider signing up with Mr. Tweet. - "Your Personal Networking Assistant!" This site recommends "twitter-ers" relevant to your topic of interest.
Another one is: WhoShouldiFollow which was designed to suggest people who are similar to those you already follow.
If you are interested in keeping up with Technology News - Consider visiting, "Top 50 Twitter Feeds to Follow Tech News”  a blog posted by Carolyn Friedman. This blog post outlines different folks to follow according to the following categories: Check it out - this is a great place to start if you are interested in Tech News!!!

2 Booking Around with Web 2.0 Tools

01May10, I presented a session on facilitating an online book study utilizing Web 2.0 tools. The session was designed to share how to develop/conduct (as well as lessons learned) an online staff development. It was great practice as I hope to present at TCEA 2011 in Austin. Below was an Animoto that I created for it.

Thank you to Ann Marie, Brooklyn, and Kristy for your assistance. I could not have created it without you!!!
