It's been over a week now since Westlake High School launched it's Twitter account, and it's already been a topic of conversation in the local newspaper, The Austin American Statesman. The Statesman mentioned our account in it's blog portion online and the comments have been insightful. http://tinyurl.com/chhdjt.
Our following continues to grow, and we've gotten a lot of very positive feedback from the community.
It was our original intention to use it as a reminder of activities on the campus, but as we get in to the process, we're finding that it's also a very useful tool to communicate effective learning practices and links to great thoughts on education, and more specifically, technology in education.
As we approach the end of this school year, it will be a time to step back and evaluate all of our efforts to be better citizens and educators. Keeping the nuggets and throwing out the sand. It looks as if Twitter is a definite "keeper" at this point.
