Save your Twitter Meet

BAW 2012 (Becoming a Webhead), just finished their first ever TwitterMeet!  It was very informative and centered on the quesiton - "Why use web 2.0 in Language Learning".  It the process, I discovered a great tool for saving the information - Tweetdoc
It records the participants - trending words - and conversation in pdf format.  Very useful in education - especially if using twitter for a classroom discussion tool.
View our TweetDoc - and then make your own!

Using comics for students to demonstrate what they have learned is very motivating.
