But I have a look at twitter every day. I feel it's like reading a personal newspaper. I still can't figure out how my students could use it. But I think that having to express your thoughts in a few words is a good language exercise. Good for teens, who tend to add too much irrelevant information to their writings.

Lunch is an understatement, for we stayed until they kicked us out! But that's another blog post. About Twitter, I think this is a careful analysis of classroom possibilities. I also believe it is important to keep in mind the variety of uses teachers have displayed just for themselves and not always thinking of a potential class activity. For that I invite you and your readers to take a look at the wiki I created to illustrate some of the many uses I have seen: http://twitter-casts.wikispaces.com I love the freshness of the examples collected there, but again, they are just examples...Possibilities are limitless. I think you just touched a nerve with your comment that students may keep their phone numbers private and simply *choose* how they would rather be notified of the teacher's updates. Jennifer,
