 * ===1. How can we increase student engagement and enhance learning by integrating blogs, twitter and wikis into the standards-based classroom?=== ||
 * With training-- students can learn to collaborate with one another in ways they don't or won't try in the classroom "public" setting. They can feel more "safe" to try answering questions and to edit/revise the answers of others. Of course, careful training in etiquette is necessary. Jeff, this is incredible work you are doing with students. ||

This comment does not really fit in these sections but more of a suggestion. Moodle is another possible place where students can post their work and receive comments. It is free and protected. How difficult is it to set up Moodle on a server and maintain it? ||
 * ===2. How can blogs, twitter and wikis encourage students to interact/collaborate and problem solve with each other and with a larger, worldwide audience?=== ||
 * I love the answer in your video - "students can have a sense that they are really publishing their work when it goes to the Blog" -- especially when a teacher from across the world responds to one of your student's entries.


 * ===3. How can blogs, twitter and wikis enhance instructional strategies that are already happening in my classroom?=== ||
 * I especially love how the collaborative writing allows the students to write more and to write better when they work together. The persuasive writing shows that. I believe that they are likely learning more this way (i.e. from each other) than they would be learning if they were each doing this same assignment in isolation and sharing the results when they are finished. ||
