Twitter has proven to be a mainstream method for professional communication. Do you believe this? We bet not. If you are reading this blog, then you know EdWeek uses Twitter to call attention to their articles, research, promote conferences and blogs. The NY Times uses Twitter to highlight articles and send out news as it is happening. CNN continuously tweets the stories they are covering. Although is no surprise, Twitter Counter reports the top 100 tweeters (chosen for the number of followers) are almost exclusively celebrities (Justin Bieber is #1). The more important news is that President Obama is 4th and the Dali Lama is 86th, both making it to the top 100. Peppered in, of course, are the NY Times and CNN, Oprah and Ellen, Taylor Swift and the Kardasians.
The fact is people with all kinds of interests are using this medium to communicate for different reasons. On Tuesday, March 27th, the NY Times reported that the trending topic on Twitter was #MarriageEquality. The article appeared in the Fashion and Style section, which may indicate a hesitation for declaring Twitter as mainstream, but they reported it just the same.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
