It seems like everyone is getting a Twitter account these days. What’s the big deal with this site that only allows you 150 characters per tweet? How can this be used in classroom anyway? Well, Twitter can be used in a ton of different ways. The best thing about it is that students love it! Twitter is the cool and hip thing right now so I guarantee you most of your students will have a twitter account. Twitter is a great way to share thoughts and ideas with others such as discussing a specific topic, without having to read long and drawn out essays. It is also a great way to collaborate with other teachers. You can post sites or things that have been useful to your own teaching for other educators to get some ideas. Another possibility is that Twitter could be used for reminding the students about homework assignments especially because they can receive updates and alerts from Twitter on their cell phones. Be creative with your Twitter. The possibilities are endless. I suggest that if you don’t have an account you look into getting one!
