It's been great fun experimenting with everything in this tool. I'll have to do some thinking on how to implement this into my music class with such time constraints. Kids could easily use it outside of the classroom - especially at RCE where they have easy access to the technology in and outside of school. I would have loved this stuff when I was in school because I was a hesitant participant in class from middle school on. This is all second nature with our kids. I, like others, can see real value in using the polls. I'm now on Twitter. The only value I see in that is if I were teaching at the secondary level.

I just can't wait to see where you go in September!
ReplyDeleteThink of twitter as a way to communicate with students/parents/special groups..."remember your permission slips"
If you are in a small group...it could be gentle reminders...almost like a phone call!
