Twitter in the classroom

While doing some research for my masters, I came upon this article in School Library Journal...thought it was perfect for 17 Things to Chew On!

I just set up my Twitter...something I honestly thought that I would never do! I am still trying to figure out the Re-tweet function, but all in good time I guess! I am currently following Elie Wiesel, author of Night, and his foundation, as well as NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), and GSLIS (Graduate School of Library and Information Specialists at the University of Illinois). I am still brainstorming on how I would use this in my classroom, but I know the possiblities are out there. Re-tweet on my twitter at, of course, Chewinonlit!
