Many journalists and Egyptian citizens were on the ground in Tahrir Square and other parts of Cairo and Alexandria – posting on Twitter. Their view of events was markedly different from that presented by the mainstream media (and far more personal). Imagine the types of lessons that could be crafted if students had unfettered access to Twitter in their schools now. Teachers could ask groups of students to follow a specific Twitter feed, and in a collaborative activity have groups prepare a daily summary of events from their ‘correspondent’ on the ground (e.g. Sandmonkey), and share their reports with the class, or indeed the entire school via a blog.
