  1. Thank you for posting your list!! I see we have a few of the same links. I like that you have more specialists and educators on you twitter list. I have a lot of organizations, and I feel for you having personal tweets from professionals in the work field is more appropriate and helpful to us as fellow educators trying to grow in our uses of technology.
