Tearing Down Walls

using social media to expand the classroom community

Tech on the road…

I’ve been on the road during the last week. We take our entire junior class (130 kids) to the Florida Keys this time every year for some experiential learning about mangrove and coral reef ecosystems.  If you are still doubtful as to the power of social media in education, check out the trip blog and/or the trip Twitter hashtag #pdskeys11 and/or our UStream channel.

Trip UStream Channel

We used all these social media tools to keep parents up to date on our adventures.  Kids send back their version of the trip, and we send ours!
