Twitter lessons coming to UK primary schools?

In what would certainly be a bold new direction in education, the British government is proposing that Twitter be taught in primary schools.  Why?  They want children to get a good grasp and understanding of technology, the internet, and social networking at an early age.  They also see the limitless possibilities that Twitter itself could have in the classroom in regards to communication skills.  Besides Twitter, the proposal also highlights teaching how to make podcasts, blogging, and the use of Wikipedia.  I’m sad to say it but yet again another country is quickly passing the U.S. in terms of technology adoption and education reform.  Awesome job U.S….awesome.  You may be asking who is responsible for this technological education revolution?  That man would be Sir Jim Rose, the former Ofsted chief, who was appointed by ministers to overhaul the primary school curriculum.  His proposals and reforms are expected to be published next month.  Exactly what does the bill contain?  Step inside and fill your little head.
