A) Explain each of the above INFOGRAPHICS. Write it or come tell me or Ms. P.

B) Take a look at Twitter. Find out through using it, or through researching it (Google etc.) how it can be a powerful learning tool.

1. What could you use it for to learn about? Be specific.
2. What's a hashtag (#) and how does it work on Twitter?
3. How could you be an interactive part of that learning?
4. Could you post your Lord of the Rings Powerpoint on Twitter? What hashtag would you use?
5. Could it be used for school? How?


Let's start a hashtag #psci10eng   And then share our powerpoints in there. We can also give our answers to the above questions by tweeting them. Hint. You will have to upload it to the internet in some way (I use gmail) so that you can give us the link.
