Twitter!
www.twitter.com
Twitter is a social networking site where people post thoughts and comments or communicate with each other in 140 character posts called "tweets".
Twitter can be used to facilitate classroom discussion and help teachers answer questions that students may have outside of the classroom. Teachers can set up class twitter accounts and use them to inform and help students. They can also use Twitter in a classroom context that allows it to be a discussion outlet for students.
For students who are not completely comfortable discussing with classmates in person, Twitter provides an easier way to discuss. It is also beneficial for students who have motor skill problems that inhibit physical writing down of thoughts.
Users must be at least 13 years of age.
