This is great. This is simply another way to engage the students with the help of their cultural tools. This strategy not only encourages the students to participate, but it also extends their access outside the classroom.
Many teachers are afraid of technology, more specifically afraid of their students using it!! Mr. Legaspi has taken the time, to design a system, that differentiates.. presentation,delivery, content and instruction. Twitter is only ONE of the key elements in his unique design, created to FIT the students he is currently teaching. And I'm sure next year, his design will continue to develop, and become even more sophisticated.
