To Tweet or not to tweet?

My students have all said that Twitter is for the birds, and since I initially began my technology education because of them, I didn't look too closely at the Tweeting initiative. I have had my Twitter account for some time now. I began, became concerned and left. It wasn't until recently a fellow educator/ innovator brought tweeting back to my attention. She piqued my interest by stating about 90% of professional reading and growth could be obtained from following tweets. Being a naturally curious person, I decided to check it out again with a different set of eyes and oh how my eyes opened! In the past 24 hours I have changed my profile, design, started following about 50 people, gained a follower and made my first tweet concerning education. Hmmmm, there is something to be said about the ease of information that Twitter provides.

So to answer the question, "To tweet or not to tweet?" --Heck YES!!

Oh, and if you want to follow my tweets look for hbhbottoms2, I'll be there.
