You will have to check my little find that slams Twitter. It's called the "Twouble with Twitter". I am expecting some hate mail soon...or maybe some Twitter insults...is that Twittersults?
LOL! I love Twitter and Flutter is funny! I think all web tools are worthy of a parody or two actually. We need to question the uses of these tools to fully understand their impact on us. With that said, Twitter has some fantastic possibilities that should not be ignored by educators. We need to understand it and use as a tool; we also need to be careful not to be controlled by a need to be on Twitter.
"When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth"- Spock, my hero(with acknowledgment to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
Our job is to teach the kids we have, not the kids we used to have, not the kids we wish we had, not the kids who exist only in our dreams.
I tried to teach my child with books, he only gave me puzzled looks. I tried to teach my child with words. They passed him by - often unheard. Despairingly, I turned aside. "How shall I teach this child?" I cried. Into my hand he put the key. "Come", he said, "and play with me."

"You have brains in your head. Your feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss
"For educators to master the art of seeing student potential, they must look beyond the textbook to the students standing before them - to that young apprentice, to that blank canvas, and see the masterpiece they can become." - R. Cannizzaro
