Twitter in Secondary Education:
As children reach middle school, they start to shift some of their priorities to more social activities. Includingtechnologies like Twitter can help lure the students back in to the task at hand. Because Twitter allows for open discussion amongst students it can raise the bar on study time. In the past children were free to visit each other after school. Studying together and working on projects as a group was not as difficult as it is today. Especially with students having to pitch in at home, as well as. the level of mistrust in our neighborhoods. Having a vehicle which encourages students to ask questions to their teacher and peers can bring down some of those societal walls.
As educators we have a responsibility to keep our students informed on proper behaviors, this includes texting. How else can we enforce proper grammar and spelling when 90% of a child's writing is happening through texting. Having a Twitter page, which documents all Tweets can force students to be aware of the consequences. It can also allow a safe place for them to work through their mistakes anonymously.
