Twitter just delivered this to me today: Steve Wheeler's posting on 10 top uses of Twitter for education, http://steve-wheeler.blogsp...

I tag sites giving information on twitter in education here: http://delicious.com/vances...

Hang in there with Twitter. Treat it as media you already know such as radio or tv. Switch it on, listen for as long as you have time for, switch it off. Repeat later :-)

Thanks for citing my post :-) You got the idea exactly. Each of our brains is small but working in aggregate our brains make up a huge mass that's quantums larger than all the brains together inside the walls of Microsoft offices in Redmond WA for example, or at the publishers of Encyclopedia Britannica, whereas our brains comprise Wikipedia and so much else beyond, their contents extruded into endless twitter feeds, percolated through blog posts and comments.
