Twitter with a brain.

OK as much as I enjoy Ms. Lohan and Mr. Sheen's tragically twisted exploits for their entertainment value, I cannot help but feel a bit dumber for having seen them.  Twitter, and other social posting options, give us up to the minute detailed exploits, some of which probably should have been kept private if only the poster had thought about it first.  But, lest you think I am maligning the medium, I would like to take a moment to discuss the merits of social media in education.

Take TwHistory for Example:

TwHistory from Marion Jensen on Vimeo.

You can get in on TwHistory by going to  http://twhistory.org/

If you aren't using social media to teach, you probably should be.
