Anyone who is paying attention to the changes in our world has heard about Twitter. It is being used by politicians to reach their constituents, people building networks of friends and even teachers as they continue conversations that started in the classroom. Twitter is a social networking site that can be used appropriately as well as for unacceptable interactions.
What does this mean for us at Groton? Currently Twitter is blocked on our computer system so the need to promote it in a positive manner is of the utmost importance. We all need to post thoughtful, polite and sometimes controversial tweets that cause us to discuss topics that we can't always address in class. We can also begin to use some of the additional tools such as Twitpic to share photos we take while outside checking out our world.I think Twitter can expand our class and experiences as well as bring some additional fun to an already great class!
TWIT ON!

I agree that Twitter should be unblocked. It is an awesome website too.
I don't see why Twitter is blocked... I mean, people can say stuff that isn't school-appropriate, but they can also do that on blogs, and those aren't blocked. ...And I hope they don't block those as well.
