The question of how to use twitter in the classroom came at me three different times in one day last week. It’s funny how things play out that way from time to time. I came across this simple example of NPR using twitter as a platform for people to share about a current event. I wanted to share it with you hoping it might spark some ideas for you. It seems to me that current events are the most obvious ways to use twitter in the classroom.  Every subject area is constantly evolving and expanding.  Twitter could be a wonderful way to quickly link up with new ideas and innovations within any subject area. This may not be an everyday occurrences but it could certainly have some impact from time to time. Up until last week Twitter in the classroom was honestly nothing I have given any thought to whatsoever.  Although I still don’t have a concrete example of how I will possibly use twitter in my classroom this does stir some possibilities in me.  Hope it does the same for you.  Check it out it’s short and sweet.
