Endpoint - Alom Shaha has the last word

To my students, I am 'Mr Shaha', to my friends and family, I am 'Alom', but to many of my fellow science teachers around the country, I am @alomshaha, a colleague they only ever encounter online, in the 'virtual staffroom' of Twitter. For me, and I suspect for many others, Twitter has become a place where I engage with other teachers in a way that I believe is better for my professional development than any number of INSET days at school.
