Twitter not for you? Well, there’s nothing like real world experiences to bring a topic to life... and technology often has the answer. Let’s begin by exploring just how much Twitter can add to your Space topic.

The range of different written and spoken forms means that children have to adjust their language more than ever before. And new technologies come along all the time.
