EDUCATOR NUMBER TWO
Two years ago, in a multimodal education class, I learned about a teacher who used her twitter account to tweet about different activities her class was participating in throughout the day. She felt that by tweeting what they were doing, parents were able to see what their children were doing in school. This opened up a whole new opportunity for communication. The parents were able to ask their children more specific questions about what they did at school, and get more engaging answers from their kids. When I first heard of this teacher, I thought it was a great idea. I would definitely lean more towards a classroom blog (as we all know how terrible this twitter went for me), but twitter is another great way to invite the parents into the classroom.
Unfortunately I can not find this teacher on twitter, but I love what she is doing, so I thought I would share.
