A colleague just showed me something he is doing with his grade 6 class. Twiducate is twitterish site that allows students and teachers to make short notes to their students. The grade 6 teacher who showed it to me is using it with specific themes for the posts. For example, he might ask his students to post on Twiducate what they thought of a History Channel special. They all have the option to watch it at home and “tweet” to their classmates as they do it. Twiducate is a private network where only the teacher and the students can see the posts. Anyone have thoughts on it?
