At least this rain storm is not dropping snow on us!!!!
I have decided that daily updates and information about our class will be added to Twitter rather than the blog. I feel that Twitter will give me a better platform to keep students and parents up to speed when they are away from the classroom.
Big announcements will still be added to the blog. If something is better announced on the blog it will be put on Twitter as a link.
Twitter is easy to use and becoming more and more popular everyday. It is FREE!! It can be done on any computer, iPad, tablet, Smart Phone. Things that most of us are fortunate enough to have access to. If you don't you soon will, as each student will be getting an iPad.
Twitter can be used by anyone. It is just like the internet, it has great information. It is also just like the internet in the fact that it has things that can be found that may be inappropriate for 4th graders. Whether you allow your child to have a Twitter account or not is up to you. I am going to be doing some research on this and if it is something that kids will be asked to have or not when they get their iPads.
My advice as of today is for parents to get it and use it with their student to follow @mrbrimsclass.
