Twitter’s seen a fair share of publicity of late, and rightly so.There’s something decidedly addictive about sending swift bursts of digital chatter across the far reaches of the globe, and receiving responses from those who may choose to follow your ventures is equally satisfying.
For the die-hards, Twitter can easily become a lifestyle, an effortless way to update family and friends with the mundane (this isn’t always a good thing!). With mobile Twitter permeating further into our society, there will soon be nowhere to hide from the incessant tweeting of Twitterers the world over.
Having used Twitter in my Year 1 classroom, I can personally vouch for the website’s educational grandeur. Every day becomes an obsessive update-athon, which children vying for the rights to articulate the next sentence. The parents love it because they are hearing on-the-spot news, fresh from the proverbial horse’s mouth.
There are many other possible angles to using Twitter in the classroom, the number of which is limited only by your creativity. Check out our original post about twitter in the “10 Websites” section for a printable guide and give it to other staff at your school that wish to join the juggernaught that is Twitter too.
