There are many reasons to why twitter should be used in the classroom. Up to date information is found and used in the classroom. It is at the student's finger tips. Any question asked could be found on twitter in a quick second. It states that starting off with a simple key word and pressing search will find information about a given topic. The teacher can show a certain aspect in twitter they want to teach and then the students can be the next to research move on the topic or similar topic. Getting parents involved becomes very easy since they can just log onto twitter and find out what is going on in the classroom. One thing that is very interesting when it comes to using twitter is being able to communicate with people from all different places! Students can make pen-pals with someone in China and really anywhere. Games and many activities are also found in twitter. Teachers and students will both enjoy and benefit from using twitter. It is also a great way to keep parents aware.
I would use twitter in my future classroom. There are so many options and makes learning fun, yet still educational. I did not know twitter had all these parts and I am glad now that I know.
