Students experiment with different kinds of sentence structures like appositive phrases or compound and complex. Tweet your sentence when you are ready to share.

I think people like it- it makes them know that they had a good tweet- good enough to share...right? any other ideas on that? Leslie

I know this is a site for twitter, but since I have so many tech "leaders", I thought I'd get your feedback. Does anyone know of an online web 2.0 tech survey for teachers? As part of a professional development project, we are including a survey to find out how "tech savvy" our teachers are with 21st learning. Any suggestions?

Just wondering how this section might break out into pages? I suspect some of the content might be more suitable to other sections of the site, and I see this as a sort of holding place. Perhaps a reviewer will be willing to mark the place where suitable content might be re-located? (See example for 50 ideas for Twitter in Ed'n...) Once content exists elsewhere, maybe the links should be deleted.
Potential categories for training resources (under subheadings or on new pages?) slideshows; presentations; handouts; more twitter tools;

I agree with Kathy, Diigo is a great tool for handling resources on an ever evolving collaborative basis. And it can be split using lists with each list being fed back into this wiki using RSS feeds. It is actually easier to use than having the ongoing responsibility to keep updating a spreadsheet (I have tried that before and find community fatigue sets in after a while) Diigo bookmarklets (available for most browsers) make it easy to post to diigo and twitter at the same time + add the relevant searchable tags is quite easy+ you can also feed the bookmarked resources back into Delicious. It might be a good idea to set up diigo group bookmarks for purposes of our lists. This will organise the "database"
Ed has started a twitterteacher group already (http://groups.diigo.com/twitterteachers/) but it does not have dedicated bookmarks for the group (eg articles, classroom ideas, tutorials, .....) But we can always recatogorise the exisiting ones I suppose, and organise them into lists.....

I've been building a collection of Twitter related articles via Zotero. I'm prepared to include the above mentioned links into that collection and to republish this list (as a detailed bibliography) with all of the biblio info there. This might be especially useful for those who are doing more detailed research on the subject and are looking to "cite" that work.

I heard a tweet that made me think of Twitter in a new way wish I could RT it. Basically, Twitter could be thought of as a search engine and not just a true social media site like Facebook. I guess what is meant is because of the #s you can search threads and because of APIs like Twitter Trends yo could think of it as a marriage between social media and a search engine.

A different group dynamic can be used on Twitter. Teacher assigns HW to students such as for example use of quotes. Students write sentences using quotes and include hash tags ie. #quotes. Weaker students follow the tags that stronger students are modeling until they become competent. And teacher as a "weak" participant observes tags and only participates as a moderator.

Another idea (after getting proper permissions) is to tweet using the students cell phone. The message is received instantly through a text message. This is a convenient way to update or inquire about a hw assignment by sending them random notices: "Did you do your homework, yet?"

Some advice I always give authors of technical books... I hope this isn't too negative and proves useful.
I'm also aware that you're teachers, and these points brush against learning theory so I'm teaching granny to suck eggs.
Put all the "what is Twitter?" type stuff at the back of the book. Anything that is about Twitter but not directly about TEACHING with Twitter is basically appendix... get it out of the way. Background should be at the back.
The first chapter should be something like "what can Twitter do for teachers?" -- short simple success stories (even if they're made up) work well here, to give the reader a "vision" of what they can achieve with Twitter. You could also address some common objections but keep it short.
Then as soon as possible stop telling the reader stuff and start them doing educationally productive stuff. That is, using Twitter to do things that teachers care about. This could be discussing education, it could be complaining about student behaviour or senior management idiocy... the sooner the reader thinks "hey I GET it now!" the better. And people get the "I get it" moment from doing things, not from reading about them. (The exception to this might be reading stories that they relate to.)
Once people "get" something their brains start whirring and they become keen to learn more and innovate, so your job gets a lot easier. Don't make the reader do much work before they get to that moment (for example, don't even consider telling them to download a Twitter tool or visit a 3rd party service until they've hit some limit of what the standard web interface can do.)
I would try to make each chapter title something that the average teacher cares about and will see benefit in.
Ha! Hitting the character limit on my first post. Ooops.

I happen to agree with David. I have found that sometimes we are so excited to share the technologies we assume everyone gets it. Making it relevant to the readers' experience is key to getting those people less experienced engaged and interested.
