Bringing Characters to life
This article by teacher Megan Palevich, shows how she used web 2.0 tools like facebook and twitter to bring characters from To Kill a Mockingbird to life.
The methods Megan used can be used in other curriculum areas and can be adjusted for year level.
This is an excellent example of integrating web 2 tools in student learning.
Megan’s blog has a link to a PDF with instructions on how she introduced this in her class.
