The document discusses using Twitter, or "tweeting", as a tool to promote higher-order thinking skills. It suggests ways that tweeting can encourage communication, relationship building, and sharing of resources. While tweeting is presented as a possible method for professional development and connecting students globally, the document also questions whether simple tweeting qualifies as "thinking" or if a higher level of engagement, termed "twinking", is required to achieve educational benefits.
