I'd respond that though I haven't actually used it, Edmodo looks like the ticked for a closed microblogging-in-schools solution. http://www.edmodo.com/ is the site. I'd love to hear from anyone who's successfully used this! Keep up the good work, dude, been too long since we Skyped. I'm busy as can be too, though, so I understand your scarcity... Hey friend,

I go to my sons school web page, and click on teacher websites, and there are a total of ZERO. My son has a class now on website design and their vocab words were keyboard, hard drive, monitor, circuit board....I mean - COME ON - he's in 9th grade! They are 3rd grade words!!!! At least they have a web design course...if it ever gets anywhere. 3rd week now and they haven't gotten anywhere. How do you get a school to open their eyes and start doing things like this?

It takes time to learn how to write a long essay and even more to learn to pull it back to a short one. Micro-blogging get's kids engaged with putting informal thoughts and ideas out of their brains and into view. It's a great way to build confidence, and having Kevin around is great. I know I ripped off his swing tag idea a couple of years ago. He has a great understanding of people and social construction of knowledge. Warmest Regards Vorsprung.

Not too shabby with your pics and data. Interesting sites I have this year with Financial Literacy to use with students. They are even excited about leaving spot infomercials on financial literacy tips! Hi Mr “A”,

I even set up a separate Twitter account for it. Sure wouldn't want the kids' accounts to be bombarded with the followers I've been getting, though. I'm going to have to find a secure site to use. There must be microblogging sites out there suitable for the middle school classroom. I love the idea of microblogging in the classroom. I even set up a separate Twitter account for it.
