Something new for this year. . . Classroom TWITTER

This year we will be using a new way to check our learning that includes learning about technology.



Classroom Twitter


We will write daily about what we learned, questions we have, things we still don't understand about, etc. 



We will do it in the form of a TWEET, like they do on Twitter.











We will have a Twitter feed.












And each week several of our Classroom Tweets will be chosen to be posted on the class's real Twitter account for the world to see what we are doing.

How cool is that! So come check it out.

Thank you,

We'll also award the winner's full time school a $50,000 technology grant towards the establishment or improvement of a computer lab or technology programming.

Each of the other four National Finalists will win a $5,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of their choice, a trip to New York for the final event on May 17, 2012, a Wacom digital design tablet, and a t-shirt printed with their doodle on it.
