This is a useful link for newbies to Twitter, however, it is especially useful for educators who are looking to implement Twitter into their students' learning. I would love to hear feedback from teachers who are or who are trying to use this and other networking tools in their primary classrooms.

Thousands of tweets (from during the conference) have been distilled into a few hundred relevant and coherently grouped tweets.
