Next I looked at Twitter. This is a more obvious WEB 2.0 tool as the whole site is based on sharing information in as many forms as there is information, from 140 character tweets to links to scholarly articles to movies to vines twitter is a space designed for sharing information. Its web address is https://twitter.com/?lang=en. This could be a very useful educating tool as it provides students and teachers with access to information being put on the web by leading experts or representatives in almost all fields. If you want information about biology there is scientists you can follow and show the class. If your class is interested in current events you can have them subscribe to various news providers such as the BBC. This could reduce barriers for students as it allows them to explore areas of interest to them. It also allows you to guide their interests by showing them certain educational people or groups to follow. According to statements made by Twitter, if they are aware that a user is under 13 they take steps to remove that individual's account but Twitter does not ask your age when signing up.
