How I can use blogs in my classroom

About Me

Hi- officially I am Margaret but everyone calls me Peggy. I have been teaching art for 23 years. It is a great job and there is never a boring day. So I spend my time doing what I love everyday.

twitter

A quick note about the tweets- I like the quick short reaction to information or statements.  Sometimes it seems like I am listening to a conversation between other people, which I guess it is.  I found some of the tweets that provided more information or referenced other sites were of greater value to me as I just browsed.  I can see how this can be fun and useful as the followers have more contact with each other.
In the classroom, I am sure that as I become more active with this tool I would see more applications, but right now it seems that it would be a great way to get each and ever student involved in a topic of discussion.  Art is a  discipline that wants the viewer to bring to the discussion their personal experiences and interpretations- this would be a great way to do it.

    Margaret,
    Twitter can be a useful tool. I think that we will discover more uses for it as people begin to use it for more things.
