The power of Twitter continues to astound me. Last month, I saw a tweet from RIchmond's local newspaper, the TImes-Dispatch. The tweet asked if anyone in the Richmond area was using Google Glass. I responded that we were a K-8 school using Google Glass, and they followed up and asked if they could interview us for a story.
My principal and I spoke with the reporter on the phone, then he came in with a photographer to capture Google Glass being used in class. Our art teacher was doing a lesson where her students were creating tutorials for next year's group as she explored the flipped classroom model of instruction. The reporter asked some more questions, then thanked us for our time.
The next thing we knew, the article was on the front page of Monday's paper! You can't pay for publicity like that.
