Twittering at School
Written on August 13, 2009 – 10:28 pm | by kristydickson

This is a simple way to have news, events and blog posts automated.

I found this on youtube. It is a short (super fast) presentation of 71 ways to use ICT in your lessons. I found it too fast to read all the detail, so I had to pause it on the ones I was interested in.
