For the month of March, a group of educators and lifelong
learners will be picking a “Tweet of the day” and ReTweeting it with a
tag: #gr8t
Hopefully, you will join us in doing this too.
There are a number of reasons why you might want to participate:
• To share what you value about twitter.
• To see what others value about twitter.
• To celebrate the power and wisdom of your Personal Learning Network.
• To find interesting people to follow on Twitter.
My choice for what to retweet with #gr8t
will be a Tweet that I find interesting, or insightful, or humorous. It
might link to something I enjoyed reading, or it might have something
profound or even fortune-cookie-like that appeals to me:
There aren’t really any rules to participate: Find a tweet you value, and share it!
