Module 3 Assignment 3: "Twitter"

Finally, a great example of using Twitter in the classroom!  I've been "tweeting" almost daily, and I wasn't quite sure how I could use this facet of Web 2.0 in my classroom.  After reading the article and viewing some tweets from "Room 302," I think I have some clear ideas for next year!

I love the fact that the writing the students are doing is USEFUL and MEANINGFUL.  They are indeed writing for a purpose.  I also am impressed with the ease of parents staying in touch with what's going on in their child's classroom.  As a parent, I would so appreciate a teacher allowing me to know some of the details of my child's day.  No child ever shares all that a mom or dad really wants to know.

I actually think I will add this article to "Delicious" and revisit it this summer as I prepare for the next school year.
