Ron Jones discussed the uses of "Twitter" in a classroom setting. I am new to the universe of technologically integrated classes, but the uses for "Twitter" are just scratching the surface. In a day and age where cell phone use is almost as important as food and water, using this form of communication to a teacher's advantage makes a lot of sense. Kids can't say they did not know when a test was, or what assignment was due, or that they missed an appointment.
Also using Twitter as a way to "engage" the class in discussions outside the classroom can be easily done. Such activities help in active learning and aide in retention and comprehension of information.

I look forward to learning more about this tool.
