For educators, Twitter can be a distraction or a gold mine of resources. You can send direct messages to other teachers or experts, join in on #edchat, which takes place Tuesdays from noon to 1 p.m. and from 8-9 p.m., or add plugins like Grammarly and check your writing or grammar.

At least a few of these should prove helpful for teachers looking for inspiration, resources or just a sounding board.
