I've been using Twitter since last fall. I love the ability to connect with the basic happenings of other people's days and the brilliant epiphanies that burst forth at the most unexpected moments.
I follow (and am followed by) several educators, as well as friends, people with similar interests, and a few interesting strangers.
Here in Oregon, there is a small but definite Twitterverse that overlaps in some wonderfully interesting ways.
As a fourth grade teacher, I don't think Twitter would be a reasonable way to stay connected with my students. The blog and discussion forum work much better for that. At the high or even middle school level I could imagine an excellent response, however.
Twitter is amazing and overwhelming
