Social bookmarking is a great tool for teachers and students. It is possible to have online resources and tools at your fingertips, in an organized fashion. I have found multiple articles and websites available for parents, teachers and students. They can be used in or out of the classroom. It is also a great way to collaborate with other educators, parents and students. There is an option to join groups with other people with similar interests. Diigo is the social bookmarking app that I have been using on my i pad. I haven't figured out how to highlight bookmarks yet, if any of you readers have the answer for me please comment on my blog post.

How and Why To Try Twitter Teams In School

Here are links to my 3 resources that I happened to find from another great teacher I have the pleasure of working with who also uses twitter in her fifth grade class.

By the beginning of reading Pleased to Tweet You I got the feeling the students really enjoyed using twitter and they were excited engaging in learning. You can use a chat to enhance your classroom for a quick English activity. You can search for a book your class is reading to connect with other classrooms in other communities reading the same book. Technology grows and so can you as a teacher while benefiting your students from meaningful learning. A good teacher will look for new ways to teach their students, technology is now a common core standard. In class we learned you can take polls using twitter, while it graphs the information and separates male/female votes. Twitter also invites parents to see what is going on inside your classroom and school district. You can have a collaborative project updates for the students and parents to check in on. Twitter also helps the teacher stay connected with the parents and students in their community. 

Here is a list of the 2012 A-Z list of educational twitter hashtags!
