Last week I traveled to Washington D.C. with my 8th grade students for the annual class trip. Of course, we had an amazing time and learned a little on the way.

However, the fascinating part for me was a little experiment I held with the folks we left behind on our trip. Throughout the four days of our trip, I sent out status updates, pictures and information to our class blog’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.  It was (I think and have heard) a great success.

Here’s to hoping that this paves the way for better usage and understanding of how these social media tools can aid in classroom curriculum enrichment and engagement at our little Kingdom of the Just in Spartanburg, SC.
