How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live

One of the teachers in my building brought an article from TIME Magazine to my attention recently: How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live. We plan to use the article as part of our Fahrenheit 451 unit, which is focused on technology and society. I am curious to hear how my students feel about this topic, both before and after reading this and other related materials. One of the things that I want to draw their attention to is the fact that our district is now on Twitter. While I am a bit of a technology nut, I have chosen not to join this 140-characters-or-less publication site. I wonder how many of my students "tweet," and if it is meaningful for them, or for their parents, to follow their school on Twitter. I know that this short post is a bit disjointed, but my ideas are still forming. School starts in a week, and my brain is still spinning. We'll see how this unit goes! :-)
