Our class pet, Sam The Gecko, now has a twitter page. Each day my students (2nd and 3rd grade) each submit a tweet from the perspective of Sam looking out from her tank. As a class we choose the one that best represents something that was going on in our classroom on that particular day. I then enter the tweet that the students choose. As a class we also respond to Sam's Twitter followers. This activity is not too time consuming and is a great way to learn about perspective as well as for students to reflect on their learning.
If you get a chance check out Sam on Twitter @SamTheGecko. We would love to hear from you.!
