Body | Are you curious about Twitter? Already tweeting and wondering where to find second language teaching connections? Here are some resources that may help. A recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer describes how Twitter can be a useful tool for educators: http://articles.philly.com/2011-06-18/news/29674329_1_twitter-technology-teacher-tweets --- A recent post to the FLTEACH listserv provides the following hints for follows and also a document for finding useful resources outside of Twitter: French teacher Sylvia Duckworth (@sylviaduckworth on twitter) has put together a doc with the aim of encouraging more FL teachers to use Twitter, by allowing teachers to share recent 'finds' that they have come across as a result of tweets on Twitter. Here's the Google docs link: http://bit.ly/j79pc3 Please feel free to contribute to the doc - or just have a look at the links posted by others. If you do go on twitter, a couple of hashtags you can follow are #flteach #langchat #wlteach - hastags included in tweets of relevance or potential interest to MFL / FL / LOTE teachers. Also, have a look at the #flteach daily newspaper: http://paper.li/tag/flteach (essentially a daily digest of all of the links each day in tweets which include the #flteach hashtag, arranged to look like an online newspaper.)
