Twitter Account

I have not had the time to have my students utilize twitter yet. We had several things to do for Prom the week of training and then we were out a week and Prom was last week. I do however plan to get them started with twitter this week. I know it will go very well because they will love the social networking aspect of it.

Instead of going through the trouble of having your entire class setup their own twitter accounts, have them come in each day with their tweets in their notes. I have taken the concept behind twitter - a brief summary of 140 characters - and applied it to reading assignments or simply using it as a warm up to a lesson.

If your students have laptops but can't use Twitter because of filtering issues, you could see about doing this on a shared Google doc, so all could see what others contribute. Or on a classroom blog.
