Twitter is a Web 2.0 tool that allows people to interact from just about anywhere in the world. Twitter is primarily a social media site where people can catch up with friends, find out the day's news, or search for random information. However, Twitter can have many applications in the education world.

Twitter can be used in education as a gateway for students to find useful information on a wide variety of school topics, as well as experts whom they can follow to gain even deeper insight on subjects.
