Connect across the world via Twitter: XW1W



I always wanted my class to connect with other students.  With the exception of a few Mystery Classes and a teacher in Asia, I don’t think I was very successful.  But what if there is a quick and painless way to help engage your students around critical issues? 


TeachersFirst has done all the planning and work for you with their XW1W (Across the World Once a Week).  Read the weekly question and after a discussion with your students post your brief (280 characters) response.  During the week, review others’ posts and respond

.

Everything you need (directions, suggestions, Twitter tips) is here.  There are two weekly questions- one for middle school and the other for high school. This would be perfect for social studies or multicultural classes/lessons.

I would love to hear about your experiences!
