Thing #21 - Try Twitter

For my 8th grade computers and careers class I can use this as a way for students tell me when assignments are complete and to have the students follow somebody or something of interest. I'm thinking that the shortened script writing will help the student be more engaging. At this time, I'm not sure where this could go. My thinking is I get the students accounts at school but after that the student would only be able to connect at the school.  But for a general education class this would be a great way for teachers and students to stay connected about assignments and questions about a topic.
