It's a shame that when i see students on an ipad they are usually playing a game instead of something like that solar system app or storybook app.crhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095645301382904195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963055876817125029.post-43384591734941165192011-12-04T18:37:24.878-08:002011-12-04T18:37:24.878-08:00Jami, too bad ipads are soooo expensive.

I think you have a more vested interest than the average bear here since you teach at the school where you were educated and your kids have (and will) attend. I think that's a fabulous legacy for any teacher to leave. Your kids (students and your own) are pretty fortunate.Bill Lammershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209576881139903984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963055876817125029.post-60733965890378608802011-02-05T09:35:13.674-08:002011-02-05T09:35:13.674-08:00Jami, my heart goes out to you and your daughter. ...Jami, my heart goes out to you and your daughter.

They are different venues with different needs. Twitter is usually used to share sources where Blogs are longer and more thoughtful postings.<br />I have set my Twitter so that it will post directly to my FaceBook page.
