High schoolers at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis, Minn. are being engaged in the classroom in a whole new way. By using social media tools and giving them access to the Internet, students are able to learn in different ways. Having discussions about their English class online has increased their level of attention and engagement in their studies.

    Great Project Minneapolis Students, Well done!

    I'm doing really similar things (Podcasting for oral fluency, social science videos for motivation and expressing our thoughts, Twitter for E-Twinning etc.)

    It too has proved to be really popular. with my students. Feel free to drop by our wiki sometime to check out what we're up to.

    Best of Luck,

    Mr S. Dickens.

    Sounds like an interesting programme, with different positive and negative points, as many of you already mentioned. If you think about the purposes cited by the educational researcher, Cynthia Lewis, then it probably sounds like a great programme, but, is that really enough? Does anybody know where to observe a full lesson in progress to see how it actually works?
