      Why are people so interested in what others are up to?  Feedback.

      It seems like a "bit much" to me.  Just sayin'

      I think it's a conceited way to feel like what you have to say is valid. 15 minutes of fame...Not into Twitter but know a guy from High School on Facebook-no one remembers him except for the fact that he never said a word(very shy)-has over 500 friends on FB and is always posting-very strange

      Interesting idea to set up account for students and parents

      I agree. I actually really like that idea.

      You'd have to be careful and specifically outline rules for posting
  • In the classroom, I might set up a Twitter account for just my students and their parents

      How would this work for digital immigrants?
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • I also think it would be interesting to track brainstorms -- students immediately post a thought on Twitter as it enters their head, regardless of whether that idea fits into the current classroom lesson, making the site, if you will, a "parking lot" for thoughts.

      I'm pretty against twitter but this is an interesting concept.

      allowing teens to "immediately" post what comes to their mind can be not only dangerous-lol-but it could be a waste of time weeding out the impulse/nonsense. Think it's better to let them think first before they "blurt" ideas. Definitely can get out of control or potentially lead to some touchy situations.
  • 140 characters per pos

      I feel like 140 characters is alot for just a status update.

      Agreed.  And I feel like that's exactly what it is...a status update.
    • Gina Renda

      Agree as well. Status should be simply, direct, to the point. Isn't that the purpose of Twitter-quick glimpse?
  • It's a nice way to keep up informally with colleagues, family, or friends

      I agree to a certain extent, but you can also keep in touch by e-mail, phone, etc.

      Hate to admit it, but my phone conversations are getting shorter and far between because I'm getting better at texting. Just don't have time to sit and chat anymore.
  • A teacher might also share short updates at the end of each school week as a simple way to keep parents informed

      Keeping parents in the loop is so important!
  • As a creative project, a teacher could post a short-story starter, then let students continue to write the story as a group, each taking turns creating the next sentence or two.

      Guidelines would need to be set so things would not become inappropriate.
