Tonight my classes are going to be having our first live tweeting session while watching the State of the Union. We are going to be doing this while working with our new friends at McKeel Academy in Lakeland, Florida. I am so excited to have this opportunity to inspire the students to branch out, and to also be able to comment on something so important.
I am excited to see what they will think about the President's address tonight. It is so important for them to start paying attention to the world around them, and by adding this fun element, I hope that it is the push they need. Plus, it'll be great to hear (read) different regional views on this topic in real time.
This is just one more instance of how much I have gained from being a teacher on twitter. I am so grateful that I took the very small leap to branch out and collaborate with such wonderful educators around the globe.
