I stumbled across some 1st grade classrooms on Twitter the other day and decided to set up my own class account. I'm not yet sure how I want to go about using it, but I think it has some great possibilities. Do any of you use Twitter? If so, what do you use it for? If you're interested in following us, our name is descamps_grade1Thanks!Shannon Descampshttp://edublogs.misd.net/mrsdescamps/See More

I'll select one with a book. We are using Edmodo so maybe we can connect that way, Skype, and by posting photos. I don't have a blog, but I have a class web page.…"
Shannon Descamps replied to Shannon Descamps's discussion Looking for another 1st grade classroom in the group We Teach First Grade"If you're interested, I can ship out Morley whenever you're ready.
