Get together a network of English students to send tweets throughout the day/week, perhaps assigning students to post at last one message and respond to one message daily. The nature of Twitter is different than a forum or blog, as it demands quick updates throughout the day. I would imagine that students could get quite involved with the idea.

Conference was a lot of fun - spent more time talking to people than attending presentations this time. I was in the mood for just hanging out, so I wouldn't be able to say much in a conference report. I guess I missed Scott's presentation, but I'm sure it was interesting, as your post communicates clearly. I haven't seen the book either, since these days I no longer have the privilege of teaching reading and writing courses.

How was the conference? Are you going to post a review? Did you happen to go to the presentation by Scott Miles that I mentioned on my blog, <a href="http://eflgeek.com/index.php/eflgeek/comments/textbook-review-essential-reading/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
