I was an early adopter of Twitter as a means of connecting with other educators, thanks in large part to Will Richardson and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach. One night, while I was following my Twitter feed, I saw that a number of people that I knew on Twitter were actually together at a coffeehouse in downtown Philadelphia.

I hadn''t ever been to an EdCamp before, so to attend two in two days was quite amazing. One event was in person, the other was online (a first not only for me, but for edcamps!). So this is Part I: mainly about the resources I gathered at EdCamp Honolulu , October 19, 2013. Part II will be about EdCamp Online. ?

Twitter is easy to use, tweets are short in length, and by utilizing hashtags, has something for everyone. Twitter works for many but may not work for all.
