I’m wondering if anybody is still using literature circles in their humanities or literature classrooms.

I’m catching up on homework for my class on inclusive classrooms. How do you feel about having a wide range of ability levels in one room?

Looking forward to bringing students in this week. Now I’m wondering will this appear in my twitter too or is this completely different? humm looking forward to teaching them to back-channel - very big class and there will be many questions. Get up and walk around the room to share ideas isn’t going to work at all!
I imagine tagging with the subject, for instance audacity or flash and being able to get an overview of problems and solutions in a project.

Paul Allison at Teachers Teaching Teachers
Paul Alison started Youth Twitter at the end of January 2008. Every teacher or adult who registers is immediately made into an Administrator with the same access that Paul has. Here’s a note from his blog about how Youth Twitter started. Paul has been teaching in the New York City public schools for 25 years and he is the Technology Liaison for the New York City Writing project. To learn more about Paul follow the link at the bottom of this qotation, and find “My Work Online.”

» Youth TwitterI heard about a WordPress Theme that would look like Twitter on Buzz Out Loud yesterday, and they weren’t sure of all of the applications. Duh! I’ve been only experimenting very lightly with Twitter in my classroom, because I’ve been worried about not having administrative control over the students’ posts and because of security concerns with other connections they might make. This WordPress theme, “Prologue” looks like a really exciting solution! And it has tags which create categories and separate RSS feeds for everything. Wow! Imagine what we could do with this in our classrooms!

We’re doing our best to avoid becoming a “creepy tree house” by having regular conversations with the young people who use this space. For example, check out “Learning to be Unschooly” (teachersteachingteachers.org…).
A creepy tree house is:
an institutionally controlled technology/tool that emulates or mimics pre-existing technologies or tools that may already be in use by the learners, or by learners’ peer groups.
