The
latest information suggests that students and teachers might benefit when
Twitter is used as a “backchannel” for communication within or between classes.
The intention is to use Twitter to “ask and answer questions, brainstorm, focus
or extend in-class discussions, help students connect, collaboratively generate
information, and learn concise writing styles”. Facilitating
communication and language amongst students is one of the hardest things
to do as an educator, but once this can be overcome, it will change the dynamic
of the classroom allowing more collaboration opportunities, thus solidifying learning.
