more followers each week, and nearly 100 specialized educator
chats have evolved as a result. Twitter has grown to more than 600
million users, and while it may seem as though tweets about Justin
Bieber and what celebrities are eating for lunch have cluttered the
Twitter ecosystem, educators continue to connect, share and learn
through this medium.
