Today in class Mr.Dennis the science teacher,we were making a volcano. first we got a little tube and put it in the middle of a cardboard. Then we crumpled up newspaper and sticked it on the cardboard. After that i put tape all around it. Tomorrow we are going to put plaster around the volcano and paint it with water colors. I cant wait to make it tomorrow to school to build it. The boring part is that we have to make a banner that contains information about the volcano we choose.

[Can we let students twitter like we do?](paulallison.tumblr.com…) What do you think? Do you think we can guide students to use Youth Twitter by using the same broad categories that researchers used to identify [”user intentions on Twitter](paulallison.tumblr.com…)?”

Hello everyone! We haven’t been able to post the last few class periods. It looks like a few people posting to Youth Twitter are interested in our Global Darfur Awareness Project. For more information please click the link below. We will be setting up mulitple Skype chats next week with anyone who wants to learn more about our project.

HI, Chances are you all ready know me from the blogs I have posted. You know my favorite song (Get Low, by Flo-Rida) and you know what I like to do on my free time.
My daily process will be repeating it’s self but with small changes such as; One day I will play my P.S.P on my free time or I will just go outside to hang out with some of my old friends.
I also take large interest in poetry, so you now know something new I like to do on my free time.
I write a lot of poetry when I get bored. Though I’m not suppose to, sometimes during class when the teacher is reviewing old work I would just write poetry.
I write all kinds of poetry;Death,Life,Hate,People and sometimes Fantasy.
Other than my daily process, last night I went to the Chinese restaurant and met up with my six grade teacher. We caught up on a lot of information such as what grade she now teaches and how her and her son is doing.
I told her about my present school (E.B.A) I made it clear to her that I really miss (C.S.67) cause kids in this school are not familiar with me and when they try to hard to find out my background, I eventually get in trouble because they find any negative information they can to get me in trouble.
I had a lot of fun talking with my teacher and afterwards I ate my Chinese food,went home, took a shower, and then went to bed. -

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.
