78. Most popular micro blogging tool
 GLOBAL COMMUNITY – 140 characters to say what you
are doing. Sound crass? Not if actions or thought
interest you or others. Especially research & ed.
 INSTANTANEOUS – immediate share, dialogue or
discovery.
 SELECTIVE – using hash tags, you can filter you want
and don’t. Backchannels are now used at most major
events and conferences.

79.  Do a short lesson (140 characters or so) on what Twitter is and
how to use it responsibly (and how not to use it)
 Make sure all students have a Twitter account to participate with
(it can be their personal one or one created just for class)
 Then decide as a class or by yourself a theme to start chats
around
 Create a hashtag (#?) appropriate to your class that is unique and
won’t be visited by many outsiders
 Find an engaging article to share with students – make sure it
isn’t too long at first
 Create an open-ended question that will both provoke thought
and honesty
 Then set the kids loose on the hashtag
 Read what they write and participate in the conversation too -set
specific parameters that you can monitor for accountability
purposes
 Teach them to proofread as they go
 Marvel at the quiet sounds in your classroom despite how much
“talking” is really going on.
