These past two weeks have been really busy and I was involved with a lot of things that kept me from routinely checking Twitter. The one thing about Twitter is that if someone post something on Twitter, chances are it will be posted again later that day, or even later in the week. That is why those that are new to Twitter shouldn't worry about always checking their account for fear of missing something. Now on to the what I was able to get from Twitter. Still some GREAT stuff.
1.) Artsonia - A Kids Art Museum. You can purchase the Art as well.
2.) The Top Ten Educational Technology Advocacy Issues from ISTE - This is what we should all be sharing with our politicians and Boards. Also from ISTE, six strategies to connect educational technology integration to School Improvement.
