The piece profiles students who use Twitter to write about classroom lessons, "contribute to a classroom blog, make videos for a private YouTube account intended for parents, and write books using computer software." The piece reports that teachers "who use child-friendly blogging programs and social media are finding the tools are becoming integral parts of their classrooms."
