A5: I used Twitter before for parents and my professional career, but I stepped away. I can see using it to highlight what we are doing in the classroom as well as build a virtual portfolio for myself. #READ7431TWEET

A4: Tools like being able to just chat with friends without guidelines (I’m thinking cyber bullying) would be nonproductive as well as all the ads some virtual worlds have. #READ7431TWEET

A3: Where do I begin! Virtual Words allow scholars to practice their writing/grammar skills. They use other comprehension strategies than traditional books (i.e. listening skills might be heightened or research skills). #READ7431TWEET

@mstolbert7 Agreed! If we're looking at building 21st Century skills, we need to think beyond our classroom, and globally is something they will need to work with when they are older.

@sally445 The parents enjoyed it! They loved seeing what was going on in the classroom.

A1: I used Twitter at a previous school I worked at as the expectation was to use social media to communicate what was gone on in the classroom. I've used it enough during that time to feel comfortable with it. #READ7431TWEET

@mstolbert7 I am in the same boat. I used it at a previous school, but it has been maybe 4-5 years since I have used it.

@LaurelLege I agree with how it helps ELLs because of how diverse the English language is. It will help them see and utilize it in a non-formal environment.

[Jamie Thalacker @JamieThalacker]

A2: Virtual Worlds are a great place for scholars to learn/practice language and literacy. It allows them a place to read/follow things of interest to them which builds their confidence with learning. It is a great time for educators to teach audience for writing. #READ7431TWEET
