Check you blog, update your wiki, don't forget to check e-mail and let's add Twitter. Sound like a busy night. I can understand how blogging and wikis can be implemented in the classroom. I'm not so sure about Twitter. I also have to ask, do we really want cell phones in our classroom? At 146 characters per tweet I'm not convinced that I'm going to get a lot of bang for my buck. But I am afraid that it might blow up. Who of us has not seen a video of a teacher losing control on youtube? Twitter. Maybe at the college level, but not in a middle school.
However, I am a fan of social bookmarking services. It''s a place to collect your favorite sites. If your computer crashes you still can acess your favorites from another site. I can see having my students set up a diigo for Spanish colleting cultural sites as well as vocabulary and grammar. As for me, I'm already hooked on Shelfari. Just check it out and you'll see why.
