Top Twitter Analytics Tools With hundreds of add-on tools, Twitter certainly has plenty of ways you can analyze its data. I set out to find the best tools that I would recommend for you to track and compare your own Tweets, as well as examine the growth of followers and when you actually send out your 140-character missives. My two faves are TweetStats and Twittercounter. As you are resting from your Thanksgiving feast, you might want to try them out, along with several others that I will show you.

The idea of slow adoption was featured on Edudemic last week and is certainly going to be an issue going forth as well. The Twitter Experiment Dr.

How Evernote Is Revolutionzing My Classroom From 8th January – 22nd March I chose one class, my First Year class (aged 11-12) to give up using exercise books, reading books and textbooks. Instead, they would use only digital mediums that were available to them through an iPad that they were supplied with during each lesson. We are now at the halfway point of this test, and I wanted to reflect a little on what I have found so far. The first stumbling block was the fact that the iPads that they had access to were not theirs to take home – they were issued at the start of each lesson and collected in at the end. So, I needed something stable, reliable and powerful that would work across any platform to be at the core of what we did. The natural choice for this was Evernote.

Then, Twitter implemented the “new retweet.” Merlin Mann's toot: You can see the new retweet button in the very center.
