Twitter in Education

One idea that was brought up in class was the idea of using Twitter for educational purposes.  We broke up into groups and discussed how this could be possible.  Our group talked about how awful "ice breakers" are with the ffirst couple of weeks of class, and we went with that thinking, 'well what if we could use Twitter to introduce ourselves?' What we were thinking is that in the first week of class, the teacher introduces the students to Twitter if they are not already familiar with it.  Then, when the students are familiar, have them introduce themselves using Twitter. This would take a lot of the awkward ice breakers put of the equation.
