ASSIGNMENTS
If you do not already have a Twitter account, you will need to create one for this weeks assignment. In our class blog comment with your twitter name. Then, follow me, kellyisabull
Next, tweet your response to the three questions in the blog at me (@kellyisabull) (you will need to have three separate tweets!)
The second part of this weeks assignment is to create a short presentation with at least three ways you can "use" Social Media in your classroom. While I understand that not all districts allow Social Media in the classroom there are creative ways to bring the idea of Social Media into the classroom without actually using it, be creative! This presentation will be submitted through email. Email your project to me, at kbudnick@mail.usf.edu
Please submit before our next class meeting. (50 points)
