This is a self-professed, blatant all-out "steal" of a great idea begun by Gina Hartman for Twitter users in education.
As a plurker, I thought we plurkers needed one of these for us. I've even "borrowed" her very well done directions:
This wiki was created to easily help new teachers (or teachers new to Plurk) connect with other teachers that have the same interests as them (that teach in the same content area). Be sure to check out plurk4educators as well!
Check out the list of teachers below. To add your Plurk name to the list, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of this page, and then enter yourself in the appropriate category or categories! But first you have to create an account. Just follow the instructions to the right.
If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to e-mail me at onionskin1@gmail.com
Special thanks to McTeach (Karen McMillan) for her recent re-organization and streamlining efforts of these pages!

You beat me to the punch. I was going to do the exact same thing. My internet was down on Saturday & by the time it was back you had this up. Great job!

Thanks, Steve! So glad you joined us! Teach42 egged me on, I must say, during the Den Virtual Conference last weekend. I should point out that another wiki was started before this one for the same purpose by wgraziadei. It is located at http://plurk4educators.pbwiki.com/ I am currently pointing people to both places -- since we all have different circles of friends. There has not been much duplication between the lists, as far as I can tell.

I added a category for Pre-Service Teachers at the end. I don't know if you think there is a better location for that to go in the list or not. Please feel free to relocate it as you see fit. :)

This is a fabulous idea!! I didn't know how to make my plurk name my link, so if you want to change it, or tell me how to, I'd be glad to do that! Thanks for setting this up!!
