Today on Twitter I noticed that a blog post I had written in March was being reTweeted by quite a few people. Well, I tracked down the source of that traffic and I give a big thank you to the amazing Vicki Davis for sharing my article, Seven Ways to Find Teachers on Twitter, with all of her followers and readers. Since I wrote that article in March a few things have changed so I created an updated slideshow version of the post. If you're a person who has tried Twitter but gave up on it, consider trying the tips in this slideshow and see if you're Twitter experience improves. If you're a teacher trying to convince administrators or other teachers to try Twitter, feel free to use and remix this slideshow to help your cause.

Thank you for updating this - I'll retweet! ;-)
Good resource, but missing some ways to find teachers on Twitter.
When you find an educator on Twitter, check to see if they have created lists of people using Twitter, such as "math teachers," "science teachers," etc.
Also check the people they follow, to see if they are someone you would like to follow. Check out their profile and the Tweets they have sent.
Search Twitter for common education hashtags such as #edchat, #mathchat, #sschat, #elemchat, #iste11 and check the people that use that hastag.
