Build a Personal Learning Network first for teachers to improve skills
The Pope is on Twitter! ...on an iPad!
Roseanne started by following what the Tech Director followed
Created a class account
Followed the oil spill
Students followed their interests
Teaches students about their digital footprint
Students examine who follows us and who we follow
Check out hashtags
Be careful about certain hashtags
Look up the hash tags of people tweeting you
Students go to www.worldpress.org,NPR, or the New York Times, and tweeting about it
