I used Twitter with my physics students yesterday when we visited a maglev train test track. The field trip was amazing and I was impressed at how well the Twitter worked out. Lots of students were twittering on the bus ride home -- every teacher's dream. I think Twitter on a field trip might take a little getting used to for students, so I'll be using it again with the same kids. Several commented as we got on the bus, "I forgot to Twitter." Partly this was due to how well the hosts held our attention...even better! Thanks for the idea! I used Twitter with my physics students yesterday when we visited a maglev train test track.
