[LM_NET] Share: Twitter in the Classroom

[edward nizalowski <enizalowski@NVCS.STIER.ORG>]

I wanted to pass this on from an alternative news source Truthout:

Jessica Gross, The Huffington Post: "David Parry started using Twitter
with his University of Texas at Dallas students in 2007. A teacher at
Hope Charter School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, taught his students
to mark themselves present and record their in-class accomplishments on
the site. Penn State professor Cole Camplese maintains a screen full of
his students' Twitter streams throughout each class."

 

The article promotes the benefits, but several of the comments raise
some doubts.
