Beginning of May 2010 edition of the What Did They Tweet weekly series!
Let’s see what our Personal Learning Network (PLN) tweeted about in education and social media. However, I should note that one of the top stories this week on Twitter was about the new way to embed Tweets as posts in 3 easy steps, which was tweeted by @xdamman. This feature is reflected in this post! Do you like the new look? Please let me know in the comments!
