I have had some questions about a variety of topics, and maybe twitter would be a way to get some feedback. Well, I think I will have to give it more thought.

Twitter is definitely an important part of my network. Sure twitter can be addictive however you do learn to walk away and come back; and its definitely the fastest way of networking with each other.

I understand the barriers to using 2.0 tools--time, access to technology, and "safety" (sometimes the latter is more imagined than real). Have you seen the Voice Thread for Educators accounts? There is a cost, but it is not very high, and students don't require email accounts. I found it quite a successful way to give students an identity. Have you seen <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/" rel="nofollow">Classroom 2.0</a> ? It might be a good resource for you: there is a wealth of information there. There is another ning (online social network) that might interest you, specifically about <a href="http://voicethread.ning.com/" rel="nofollow">Voice Thread</a>. Good luck on your journey, Ines! @ Elaine: I think there are so many fabulous opportunities to work collaboratively across distances. Sometimes it is more difficult close to home, perhaps because our classrooms have walls, but our networks don't! I have thus far avoided Twitter, mainly out of respect to my family; I am working on my master's degree and spend too much time in front of a screen already--I am guessing that it is quite addicting. (will post on your blog about that!) Cheers! @inpi: Hi Ines! I understand the barriers to using 2.0 tools–time, access to technology, and “safety” (sometimes the latter is more imagined than real).

In spite of 140 character limit, I think Twitter could assist with DIT. Elaine Hi there,

But as they are under 13 - in fact they are 10 to 12 years old - I find that most interesting and useful tools are closed to them; they are not allowed to subscribe or sign up. I've heard that Google Apps for schools could allow me to open Google accounts for my students and use these e-mails to register them, for instance, in Voice thread or to form a Twitter group. As English is not my first language I didn't understand quite clearly yet, if it is possible. Since I've discovered this brand new world of web2.0 I keep telling all about it to my students and I'm sorry for not being possible to them to enjoy it more freely. I dare not answer to your "DIT" wish myself, but I surely hope it will become real very soon. Ines Hi Jan,
