After following some great educators on Twitter, I came across a fantastic blog post about the style of teaching and learning that is made possible by incorporating technology into the classroom.

Mrs. Kristen Wideen of Ontario, Canada writes,

It also enables my parents to see their children’s work on a daily basis through Twitter and their personal blogs."
