#6 - Let parents follow what          you are up to  Set up a new Twitter account for your class - you will possibly want to 'protect' your updates. Invite parents to 'follow' you, and they can see what the class are up to from any computer (home, work, internet cafe...) at any time of the day or night. They might even tweet back now and again! Iain Hallahan   (@don_iain)

#9 - Twitter Poll Noel Jenkins  with due respect to  Ian Usher   How do adult opinions differ from the views of the class? Use a twitter poll to collect and graph opinions about a controversial issue. http://twtpoll.com/       ___________________________
#10 - Word Morph Dan Reeve  @danreeve Student stuck trying to find a new or interesting word?  Is the student's writing clique or lacking descriptive language? Use  twitter to send out a word and have your network give the students synonym and other meanings, thereby testing the literacy strength of your PLN.  Or have classrooms connect during writing workshops. Then have the students help each other create  Wordle  clouds of a word and the words that are synonyms, antonyms, and examples to foster stronger and more descriptive writing.  The Wordle clouds become help posters during writing for the rest of the year.   *this wordle created by my 8th grade class, we started with BAD
#11 -  Come together........... Find someone in another class, school, country who is interested in the same topic you are. Following each other on Twitter, share information, resources and ideas. Help each other find answers or even suggest questions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],____________________________ @don_iain

#14 - Global Assembly ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],____________________________ @tombarrett   Assembly blog post
Games ... #15 - Word Play Post a Word and Guess...   Anagrams - post 8 letters and see how many new words can be formed? Use  twtpoll  to  post definitions.  Who can guess the correct meaning? "What does it mean?"   Synonyms?  Antonyms? Homonyms?   __________________ @bookminder
#16 - Twiddeo    __________________ ___________________________  
#17 - Communicate with experts There are loads of experts on Twitter these days, and some are willing to talk to the kids. Find an author, a scientist, a local historian... @turrean NASA  has many twitter streams, as do  NASA Fellows  (teachers who work on NASA projects.)  They're Twitter-friendly! @porchdragon
#18 -  Teachers are often locked into using particular website builders.      @turrean Use a Twitter widget for instant webpage updates. Adding a  Twitter badge  means being able to add instant web updates any time, anywhere.    These updates can be viewed by everyone who visits your website--even parents who've never heard of Twitter. 
#19 - Monitor the learning process It's useful to the students: they become aware of their own learning process + it's a way of collaborative learning. It's useful to the teacher: each students learning process becomes visible and can be evaluated. @driesvangils ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
#20 - How Probable? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],____________________________
#21: Twalter-egos @GeoBlogs Following a discussion with @tonycassidy on Enquiry in Geography, we thought about creating a fictional alter-ego in Twitter who would develop as a 'character' who had a back story. After this had been developed, they could be 'introduced' to classes, who could follow, and do activities based on past tweets. Created 3 characters. The most developed is @pensionerfrank My farming character is being followed by Farmer's Weekly. Blog post with details  HERE  .
#22 -  Scavenger Hunt ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
