Twitter

These are the following links that I looked at this week: TwitterVerse I was completely blown away from the 1st links blog. Her idea of using twitter for educational purposes was outstanding and something that I would have never thought of on my own. She made a twitter account for two characters, Romeo and Juliet. She had the students 'tweet' what they thought each character would say. This is a fun and modern day way to do a graphic organizer and talk about character traits and predictions. When I originally through about twitter for school, I just thought of using it for teachers to 'tweet' lesson plan ideas to eachother. It never came across to me that the students could use this for educational purposes. Twitter Guidebook This is also a VERY good resource that I will be using. It gives you everything you need to know about using twitter, especially from a teacher's perspective. This shows why and how a teacher can use twitter. This is so helpful and great.
