Willard Staff: This YouTube video will be blocked at school, but you can watch it elsewhere.

Twitter is difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. This commoncraft video paints a good picture. I’ve found Twitter to be a great tool for connecting with other edtech people. I don’t use it to share my everyday activities, as much as to exchange resources, and as an immediate support system when I need something.

I enjoyed listening to Steve Hargadon of Edtech Live interview Arthus, a 14 year old who recently has been visiting/participating in the edtech online community. I think I first encountered Arthus during the K12 Online Conference Fireside Chat with David Warlick, and then in a Ustream meetup with Will Richardson. Arthus says he just the typical 14 year old, and good with technology. I’m not so sure about the typical part. I truly enjoyed hearing a student’s perspective on technology use in today’s classroom. Take a listen or check out Arthus’ Newly Ancient blog.
