*Social media* Some teachers might think that twitter is the last tool that they would use in their classroom, but dailygenius.com is looking to change the mind of educators everywhere and show that twitter can be a true educational resource. In "25 top ways teachers use Twitter in the classroom" author Jeff Dunn presents his infographic that teaches progressive learning from this microblogging site. I am going to go over a few of his ideas and why I think they could be useful in day to day teaching. The very first item on the list is "monitor relevant hashtags" This can be extremely educational as modern news has been known to break on twitter. Even president Obama has used twitter's trending topics feature to tweet updates from the white house. Not only can the kids learn about what is going on in the world but they can see it happening in real time because twitter updates every second. Dunn also wants kids to use hashtags for project based learning which is relevant because these days kids get their research from social media, they can get quotes from industry professionals as well as ask questions to those who may have answers for their project. It makes communication seamless. English teachers can use twitter by making a fake account for a literary figure for example: @EdgarAllanPoe can use twitter to talk about his life and his poetry which creates a relatable resource for children to learn. Even on days off or snow days teachers can have remote conversations with their students through a class twitter account. This instant communication allows students to connect with their peers and with the teacher from anywhere in the world. From a marketers perspective this generates traffic for twitter as well as brands who want to promote on twitter. Using social media as an education tool expands the use of your brand (twitter) and keeps you relevant in today's constantly updating and changing world.

Community participation in planning is generally considered crucial forthe delivery of positive outcomes; however, the network structures ofstakeholders such as community groups are not widely understood. Thispaper explores the use of social media, specifically Twitter, by five com-munity groups. In the context of this study, community groups are self-created and organized groups of citizens that form to oppose a proposal toamend planning controls for a specific site. Utilizing the research tech-nique of Social Network Analysis (SNA), this paper seeks to visualize thecommunity group networks, as well as understand the connectedness andclustering of the networks. For the five community groups investigated, itwas found that they are led by a small number of active people, which donot attract large numbers of friends and followers on Twitter and keystakeholders play a passive listening role in the networks.
