Twitter is an interesting and deeply human phenomenon. -David Robinson You all know what it means to be enrolled in one the Ivy Leagues. Fox News ran a story last week where clearly students and faculty from well respected Princeton University, showed probe as how important it is to keep educational environment connected through social networks: The microblogging format of Twitter—which has become increasingly popular on campus—may bring administrators and faculty members like Harris-Lacewell closer to students, as they divulge personal details of their lives in an informal setting.

On the website, founded in 2006, users can post messages of up to 140 characters that are listed on the site’s public timeline.

Principal Kipp Rogers is the man behind the move. Passage Middle School is in Newport, WA and contrary to what other principals and faculty members nationwide are doing, here at Passage students not only can they carry their cellphones but they are able to integrate it into classroom activities. Cell phones, considered a nuisance or worse in many schools, are welcome at Passage. At least eight teachers are using them for a range of lessons, from reports to quizzes in English, social studies, science and math classes. Tony Neeley's science classroom, is just one example. A question popped onto the screen in front of class. Neeley gave the students a six-digit number and said, "Go." Instantly thumbs began dancing over cell phone keypads.
