Blogs+and+Microblogs

Sharing websites and resources with colleagues on Blogs and Microblogs:

1. The following blog provides information about using Microblogs in schools. I'm still wary of Twitter and am not too sure how to use Edmodo effectively, so I found the text helpful. Hope you will also!--Valerie

2. I got a link to this article through my twitter feed. This article talks about how our students are learning through online social media. Click on the picture on the page-it is interesting to see how much we rely on these internet sources (twitter, facebook, youtube, google). Anne Collier, an expert on appropriate use of social media by children, discusses how administrators, teachers, and parents need to support social media. In addition, they discuss the importance of teaching cyberbullying to our students. We need to give them new tools to use! - Judy Zangrilli
