Many educators are taking to Twitter as a method professional learning and also for communicating with students. One of the issues is that if you wanted to mention several people in a tweet is that those mentions take up your 140 characters. The other issue is that if you want to send a direct message to Twitter users, you can only send one at a time. Fliite is a new option that will soon be available for the iPhone that allows users to group message/mention multiple users on Twitter. Fliite could come on handy for those teachers that utilize Twitter in the classroom. You can sign up to receive an email notification when it is available, but it seemed promising, so I thought I would share. You can see the video below for more information.
