People are coming together on Twitter from all interest groups, including teachers! Teaching is very much about engaging as an active member of a community, and teachers collaborating on Twitter to share their resources and offer one another support.
Although Twitter can be seen as merely mindless amusement, teachers can use use it as an opportunity for personal, professional development. For instance, Twitter holds scheduled "chats" for teachers to participate in on a weekly basis.
EdChat essentially allows for anyone to participate in education discussions to any extend they desire. Here, they can discuss, debate, explore, reflect, and act on various topics and issues that revolve around education.
Having people come together from such diverse environments and experiences gives this Twitter community a richer experience. As all educators know, a worldly experience is the best experience. We must come together, starting with the individual, in order to make a positive global impact--140 characters at a time.
