Microblogging


Many of our kids are excited about using social media in their own lives.  Can we leverage the appeal of 140 character thoughts in our classroom?  You be the judge - Twiducate allows teachers to create a class of students and have the students communicate in a Twitter-type style.

 

What are the possibilities for microblogging?  Imagine how succinctly students will need to summarize their reading.  You could really shake up your poetry unit by having students write and share Twihaiku. 

Let us know how you're using Twitter in the classroom.
