This workshop is meant for teachers who are unfamiliar with Twitter or who aren´t very active on it (yet) but experienced tweeters are welcome and their input will be highly appreciated.

The short messaging system Twitter can be turned into a huge virtual staffroom where teachers from around the world meet, communicate, support each other and share teaching tips, resources, weblinks and opinions. Come and discover some tools and tricks to help you keep up with “what´s happening” on Twitter.
