Teachers Who Twitter

Like all good tech afficianados we're hooked on Twitter and have been enjoying their open API.

Take a look at our latest sandbox creation - Teachers Who Twitter. It's a live stream of all types of teachers using Twitter for fun or education. We'll be refining it and adding a lot of features as we go - and of course we're open to suggestions of what you'd like to see.

To be added to the list and have your tweets including on the page, just follow @TeacherPortal and send us a message through...what else..Twitter!
