I spent the weekend in Washington DC area with family. (Picture was taken in Dupont Circle at the entrance to the Metro)It was nice to get away from the heat in Texas. While there I read an article in the Washington Post by Susan Kinzie about using Twitter in the classroom at the college level. Some Professors' Jitters Over Twitter Are Easing . I can definitely see how this can be used at the high school level too. Since the students are using this form of technology why not teach them to write what they mean in 146 characters or less. One of the science professors in the article used Twitter as a way for her students to communicate quickly what research they had found on their different topics.
I loved this article- thanks for sharing it. Your blog looks great!! You are very creative, and your posts are interesting.
