World History
My colleague, Jeff Feinstein, and I jumped into Twitter full steam this week. We both created twitter feeds for our AP classes.
The purpose of the feeds is to give kids updates, reminders, and links to interesting stories about subjects we are studying. Jeff even uploaded pictures of student projects to his AP European twitter feed. We also used Twitter as an exit assignment. We each created a hash tag for the assignment so we could follow the results.
In AP World, I asked the kids to tweet the most important long-term cause of the French Revolution. Here are links to our class twitter feeds. You can find my AP World class at (@coeapworl and @coewphsreligion) and you can find Jeff?s at (@feinsteinAPUS and @ feinsteinapeh)

Several of my students have added themselves to my Twitter (kenhalla) feed. When I tell them that I only put up content and technology links through it, they seem somewhat saddened that I don't put up anything personal. That, is, of course,...
