My first impression of tweeting and of Twitter was underwhelming, to say the least. But after reading the short piece by Kate Messner in December's School Library Journal I think I may have (once again) jumped the gun. Her use of a Twitter account to enable a class of 7th graders to follow a discussion between an author they had just read and that author's editor was inspiring.
So, play and explore more but don't jump to conclusions, positive or negative, too quickly, seems to be my new lesson.
And how does one make these Twitter connections? Arrange to blog with a class in Idaho?
