Twitter is a great resource to get information on the latest technology being used in the classroom (and maybe some technology that hasn't been used yet).
Staying connected via twitter can keep you up to date on everything NASA is up to as well as information being disseminated be the Office of Ed Tech. Some feeds that I follow are; @ TechCrunch, @ WIRED, @ForbesTech, @nprscience, @BillGates and @NMHS_Principal.
Recently, through Twitter, I learned the term "20 Time". This refers to giving 20% of your class time or one day a week to let your students explore a topic that interests them. This allows the student to go deeper into a subject they normally wouldn't have time for. Check out the following link to get more information on the subject 20 Time
