Most folks have heard of Twitter. Most folks have heard of a teacher's lounge. Put them together and you get #edchat (link to the Twitter Search for the hashtag). edchat is simply amazing to me and points to the power of tools like Twitter for quick professional development jolts (like a much needed double-espresso). It's always a treat to dip into the stream and see what's on the minds of other teachers/educators/faculty/staff and consultants out there in the ever-changing yet constantly familiar world of education.
