Twitter - why bother - in the classroom?
I've only lately observed how students have greater insight into and appreciation of just what I do and how busy I am with my work as an instructor. I've also been privy to seeing then use the tool to support one another when I haven't been available to answer a question.
I've also been exploring the use of Twitter tools for EFL needs - i.e. using Tweetscan as a real time concordance so students "see" how other Twitters around the world might be using a word .. thus understanding it better through its context.
I could go on. Twitter's simplicity and flexiblity as a communications tool that is capable of promoting communication, fostering community and realizing connectivity are fundamental to understanding its "value".
