twitter in the classroom

A first grade teachers across the hall from me has started using twitter in her classroom this year.  She tweets after school hours about the day.  She has many parents who follow her and have told her they look forward to seeing the daily tweet! She also said that parents have told her that the students ask to see the twitter at home.  This teacher shows her students the twitter page at school during the morning meeting and says it is a great way to reflect on what they have learned.  One of the biggest learning surprises she said was that the students constantly say "you should tweet that" when they do something or say something smart :)
