    This website contains all the information that is provided for a no-cost public school funded system where families can have curriculum appropriate materials ("even bags of rocks and dirt") delivered to their front door and complete graded Kindergarten through the 12th grade virtually from home. They claim these virtual students will spend about 20-25% of their time working on the computer, while high school students in this program can plan to spend about three hours each day on the computer. This site offers free examples of lesson plans, and lots of information on how this system works.

Similarly, Utah State University organized a Civil War re-enactment on Twitter.

    This article gave specific examples of how social media was used in the class room. Being a History major I especially liked the idea of making pages for certain historical figures and posting status updates about things that person did
