After all aren't we in public education preparing our students for the world outside of education? If there was a true partnership with education and business our education system would completely change. The question is how do you change the old regime? I use TweetDeck to manage my followers. It allows me to group those I follow into various groups depending on what information I receive from the groups. INFP,

I agree educatirs need to get out of their comfort zone and talk to outsiders. I also believe it is just as important for "outsiders" to approach the education community to learn and offer help. I think that if the Ed world looks outside then the rest of the world will seek out Ed crowd. What if large school districts use the same tools as our best companies? What if our best companies offered school districts their best tools for free? What tools do you use on twitter to manage your followers? Good post.
