Twitter in the Classroom

I think that Twitter could definitely be used with middle and high school students. It would be a great way for them to share ideas and information when completing classroom projects. I also liked the PowerPoint that suggested you start a story, tweet it, and then let others add to it. (That idea could possibly be used with lower grades). I also like the idea of talking with another classroom and locating them via google! That would be a lot of fun for elementary students. Twitter could definitely be used as a professional teaching tool because you can collaborate and gather ideas from other teachers. Overall, twitter as a teaching tool could be used in many great ways! I think I might like Twitter a little more than I thought! :)
