Meghan Duffy https://twitter.com/duffy_ma
has used her account to not only follow
along at conferences she can’t attend, but to

11. In Chelsey Weaver’s 4th grade class, students can jot
down - in 140 characters or less - what they learned or
thought was cool during the day. Chelsey Weaver then
selects a few of these student comments to tweet out
to parents who follow on Twitter.
The Twitter activity can be a conversation starter
between parents and kids who often answer
"What did you do in school today?" with "Nothing."
