Austin and Aaron are two boys in my regular English 10 class who always have something to say, but aren't always very directed in how and when they say it. We were reading The Hobbit and out pops Austin's phone. I noticed it was a smart phone. So many mobile devices running around the school in the hands of our students - why not put them to work? I decided to try my hand at having a twitter discussion about Tolkein's The Hobbit. It was messy, fun, and engaging. I typed up my process in a Google Doc. Feel free to read about the experience. If you have had any Twitter Chats in your classroom - add to my document :) http://tinyurl.com/3d33q42
