Twitter in the Classroom

http://twitter.com/#!/TigersClass

I found this twitter posting in the people results when I was searching ways to use twitter in the classroom and decided to take a look.

This teacher is having the students to write a little summary of the days activities in the classroom. I think the students would be fighting as to who gets to type the activity for the day and I would think that parents would love to get the tweets to see what is going on in their child's classroom. I would hope that parents could then ask the kids sometime in the evening when they get home more details about the day. This sure is a quick way for teachers to keep parents in the loop.

I did a search using #education
The topic that came up today was where you could ask President Obama questions today during his first tweets. Another was a discussion about why educators don't blog, and I noticed there was an ad posted at the top to the search at all times. Something I hadn't noticed before.
