Twitter has created opportunities for educators to collaborate with colleagues outside of the work place. Many educators praise Twitter for being an effective way to collaborate with colleagues in a professional manner. It is also a way for educators to be introduced to people with similar interests nationwide.

Some specific ways educators use Twitter effectively includes: edcamps, Twitter chats, and hashtags.

Once the Twitter connection is made, the efforts continue as the educators will formally introduce each other through the #Chats to collaborate.
