Creating Student Learning Networks - Kristin Ziemke

Fast-paced and powerful. Lots of things we could easily weave in to what we are already doing (i.e reviving 5th grade blogs)
Big takeaways:

• Kids are more engaged when they make personal connections and get feedback from people OTHER than teacher (authors, app developers, parents, friends,  etc)
• Use of Twitter in a safe and controlled way gives kids access to experts and current issues they are concerned about
• Using social media tools models positive examples of digital citizenship
