Twitter…released…for beginners…

March 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Last week I arrived at school one morning and went to follow my twitter network when…uh oh…up came the standard filter message…twitter had been blocked!

Seems that Websense – which is used by the Department of Education – had recategorized Twitter into a category that was taboo at school.  Fortunately, after a quick plea to our district who then forwarded it to the department’s IS staff, it seems that Twitter has been released.  As I pleaded – twitter is my primary connection to the edublogotwitterverse – my personal learning network.

What is twitter?  Well, think of it as microblogging with a built in RSS…maybe this quick video will help.
