Room 3’s Blog

We are mentioned in the side bar of this blog – yes it’s a blog rather than the real Twitter interface but it could be a useful tool for us. We need to find a class somewhere else in the world that we could do some collaborative work with. Imagine if we could link with a class in France and practice French or a class in Japan! Again, why should it always be the teacher who has to do the hunting??

Here’s some info from the Youth Twitter site:

Who’s joined?

I’ve just come across Youth Twitter which may interest some of you – we may also be able to make use of it at school.  It is not the same as Twitter but does give the same sort of community conversation and you are not restricted to 140 characters. Maybe someone in the class could check it out for us and let us know if it is worth pursuing further.

Join us! We’re a safe, school-based twitter-like blogging network for students.
