Brilliant

Now, someone is finally putting Twitter to good use.

Just kidding.  I love Twitter, but several of my colleagues don't see it as useful.  Well, at least, useful in terms of education.

And in response, I say look at what this scholar is doing!

Now, how can we use this in our classes? Off the top of my head I can think of a few:

Tweet from Holden Caulfield's point of view as he leaves Pency Prep and travels to NYC.

Tweet from Nick's point of view as he watches Gatsby's elaborate parties.

Tweet your thought process as you go about writing an essay.

Do some research and then tweet the history of it (just like that the scholar did with WWII) but maybe more localized - for example, tweet the history of your house or family tree.
