Do not try to satisfy your vanity by teaching a great many things. Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds; do not overload them. Put there just a spark. If there is some good flammable stuff, it will catch fire.

Current Event 4

http://edudemic.com/2011/10/twitter-hashtag-dictionary/

So this was something I found very useful which I actually found on #edchat using twitter. I know I sometimes get confused with the twitter symbols and hashtags, and I actually found this site very useful at explaining the ins and outs of twitter talk. This article actually focuses on education and it provides a vast list of hashtags to follow. I have found so many great resources and articles just from following #edchat and #mathchat and I an looking forward to investigating more topics. Of course, an app like Tweetdeck is essential for this because it allows you to scroll through individual hashtags and stay a little organized. I have found in the short time I have used Twitter, it has become one of the most valuable sources of educational information. There is nothing like being able to tap into the minds of great educators all over the world.
