Hi Jan, Good article--it definitely addresses the common concerns and potential problems of using Twitter with students. I liked the part about the kids building a story with students from China! I also thought it was a good idea that the teacher created one account and then shared the password. I wonder how he achieved this on an international level? Thanks for sharing! -

Jan - I had doubts as whether to add Dudeney's post here - but I decided to do so -to see other people's views-and especially those who have been using twitter for some time now (I am a new user myself). I have the same concerns as you and I happen to respect Gavin's work a lot (I am a little bit biased) as I have had the opportunity to meet him online in courses, read his books etc.

I will check out his books now that you mention that he has some. He seems to be quite commonsensical, which appeals to me. thanks.

good suggestion not just for grade school students but high school students as well
-
-
talk to the other teachers in your school and try to agree on one or two social networking tools you will all use

good idea if multiple teachers or departments want to use social media...not to overwhelm teachers or students
-
-
however, for teachers to regularly monitor the networks, removing inappropriate posts and keeping a dialog open with students about appropriate use of the school social network.

absolutely!
