This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever written about, but I just couldn’t resist. I know that sometimes people do things just to get attention, but c’mon girl, did you have to do this?
I knew before today that @bonniegrrl was a big time geek. After all, she is a writer for Starwars.com. However, geek or not, marrying R2-D2 was just over the edge in my opinion.
Girl, I can relate. I know that many humanoid boys don’t understand a geek girl’s ways, but don’t give up hope. Turning to a droid is not the answer. However, I have to admit, in droid standards, at least you chose the best one to marry. I’ve always had a little crush on R2-D2 myself.
I guess in the end, what you wrote in this article is true, “Sometimes a girl just has to follow her heart no matter where it may lead.” I wish you and R2-D2 a lifetime of happiness, joy and Wookie roars together. You can check out the couple’s complete wedding album here. If you would like to see a video of the ceremony, you can go here.

o Teach with Twitter
by K. Walsh on February 7, 2010
Read more at www.emergingedtech.comThese resources actually provide over 110 ideas for, and examples of, using Twitter in the classroom.
It’s been almost 8 months since I published the post, “6 Examples of Using Twitter in the Classroom”, about uses of the popular micro-blogging tool in the instructional setting. This post generated a lot of traffic, and continues to attract hundreds of viewers every week.
Since that brief posting, I’ve come across a lot of articles containing examples and suggestions for using Twitter in instructional applications. I’ve combed through many of these and tried to boil down the redundancies to create a rich set of idea-laden resources. While there’s still going to be some overlap in the concepts presented in these articles, they clearly meet the goal of providing a thorough set of ideas and examples for leveraging Twitter in the educational process. (I follow this new listing with the original set of articles cited in my June ’09 post).
- Here we have 25 Ways to Teach with Twitter from Sonja Cole.
- Here’s 10 great ideas on how to use Twitter in the classroom, from blogger Steve Wheeler.
- This extensive list provides 50 ways to use Twitter in the College Classroom.
- This Twitter for Academia post suggests 13 different ways to use Twitter in the classroom.
- In this post, teacher “Fernando” offers his Top 10 Uses of Twitter for Education.
- Lastly, this PDF file discusses the experience of teacher Ana Dominquez using Twitter in the Kindergarten classroom.
I also want to mention these 100 Serious Twitter Tips for Academics, which are worth reviewing to learn more and plan your approach to using Twitter in (and out of) the classroom.

Click here for a PDF version of this article,
which provides a clean, uncluttered copy
for printing or e-mailing to friends and
colleagues!
——————————————————————Here are the original “6 Examples” from last June’s post:
- I’ll start by providing links to two articles (here is one, and here is the another), about teacher Monica Rankin using Twitter in instructional application at the University of Texas at Dallas. These are a few of many stories about Professor Rankin’s efforts (this highly covered case is what really triggered my perception that there were a lot of articles about Twitter in the classroom in recent weeks).
- Here is a video about Twitter (and other technologies) being used at Roosevelt HS in Minneapolis.
- This article from The Chronicle of Higher Education discusses instructor Cole Camplese’s use of Twitter, streaming Tweets from students on screen during lectures, as part of the instructional process.
- In this Vlog, Christine Morris explains how she experimented with the technology with her higher ed students, tapping into Tweetdeck to get the most out Twitter.
- In this blog posting, David Silver explains how Twitter replaced three other technologies he was using in the classroom.
- Last, but certainly not least, here is one of countless articles about Professor David Parry’s work with Twitter, from early 2008. This is the first Twitter in the classroom story that I came across and it has been discussed and posted about many times on the Internet.

n does it become too small? That might be a question that pops into our heads. Well, never!
Designer Cornelius Comanns has some ideas on how to make your entire life fit into a tiny three wheeled car. It shouldn’t be possible, but as you can see from the pictures, he managed to cramp down space so much that it actually doesn’t look like a bad idea. If you’re thinking about hosting dinner parties, gatherings and an occasional movie night, I can with certainty tell you this is not the way to go.

If you’re thinking about hosting dinner parties, gatherings and an occasional movie night, I can with certainty tell you this is not the way to go.
This concept car named “Bufalino” is nothing less than a marvel. This mini-RV has the capacity to seat two people, a stove to make your dinner, a foldable bed, a fridge, a basin that acts like a sink and a tank for water. The car is also equipped with a ton of storage space for you to bring with you whatever you feel you can’t be without during your travels. Sure, there is no shower, but that can probably be taken care of with a portable shower that you can buy at pretty much any hobby store located close to you. A life in a car, imagine the freedom! Imagine the claustrophobia. Whatever be thy choice.
t’s like people actually are trying to fit their whole living space into a tiny box. By the looks of it, that accomplishment shouldn’t be too far off. We have seen everything, even people making their 2 bedroom apartment into a 27 room mansion. We have seen tiny houses on wheels, and also some rather interesting geek traveling options including foldable living quarters. However, when does it become too small? That might be a question that pops into our heads. Well, never!
