Why use Twitter for homework?

I use a blog (Wordpress) for homework. I certainly wouldn't want to be limited to 140 characters for homework instructions!

I am succinct but clarity is important.

 

I do like Twitter and have learned much from people I connect with.

I agree with that! Twitter is so fleeting also, harder for them to find the information. AND with a WordPress you can install a plug in that tweets automatically.  On my wordpress (www.alicekeeler.com) I have a widget to display my twitter feed and when I make a post it goes out to twitter so I get the best of both worlds.

Use hashtags # for each class.

Edmodo is also a great tool where you can set up classes and the students don't have to register or leave personal information on the internet.
