Twittering on...

Jim Riley

There was a very interesting entry on the IB blog recently about how Twitter can change history…in this case in Iran. On a more mundane level can it be used to help History students? As a classroom teaching tool I think that the jury is out on that one but it is certainly worth eager students following a few of the Tweeters below:

...written by Dave Musgrove, editor of BBC History Magazine ...from The History Channel ....Dan Snow’s tweet ...from Paul Lay, editor of History Today

...and, of course, the tweet from the Hampton History Dept

It would be interesting to hear about any other tweeters that people follow.
