When I searched Twitter.com for "biology," I found a biology teacher who used Twitter as a way to keep abreast of current research in science. That is an idea I'd like to try. This teacher went into detail about how he taught his students about Twitter and the process he used.
I am thinking of using Twitter more as a collaboration tool than anything else. When students have a question, they can post to my class' hashtag and then anyone in the class/es can answer. This is a stretch for me as I'm not a fan of Twitter. It is too much like reading a foreign language, IMHO.
I think that this idea would have a positive impact on student learning because not only will some students get questions answered, others will have to recall information and teach it to someone else.
