That is only a couple of sentences, and yes I do suppose that this could be very good, especially when students have questions. A student could post the question and then the reply could be seen by all of the students, because as we all know most of the time more than one student has that same question, but they are too afraid to ask. I am not exactly sure if that is how it works, but I am definitely going to look into this some more. You could even just keep the students updated on what is coming up in class, what they can work on when they have completed activities, etc. so the whole class doesn't feel rushed or interrupted when completing assignments or projects. It would be perfect for a computer classroom, but could also be helpful to parents of students. The parents could ask questions or see throughout the day what the students are up to if the teacher keeps the twitter updated. Twitter could become the most up-to-date way to know what is going on, because it is short, sweet, and to the point!

It's funny that a bunch of folks in SL (which is a program many other folks don't "get" were talking about twitter, which alot of other folks don't "get" either. The irony is fantastic.

I can't see why anyone would be interested in the fact that I have just eaten a ham on rye or that I'm struggling to finish a document by close of play today (which I am, by the way - so I'd best get back to it!). I can't think of anything earth-shattering and stand-alone to say in 140 characters! I have used Twitter, made friends, acquired some followers, the whole trip… and I STILL don’t get it.

This could be an alternative to response systems, one students already have on them. I wasn’t really ready to find Twitter worth the effort, but you gave me something to think about.

Something that is quickly updated every 15 minutes to a half hour or so (and then fed into a more comprehensive blogging tool like tumblr). I think it would be cool in a 1 to 1 environment to have students (or conference goers) take notes through twitter, and to post those moments when they tune out. It would be cool to analyze the data patterns, and see what they're getting out of the presentation. Twitter could be used help create a class journal.
