Twitter in the classroom: This might be an interesting watch...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WPVWDkF7U8
I teach math and have been wondering whether twitter could be used effectively in a math classroom. Some ideas:
-Instructor hints for frequently troublesome topics.
-Student comments on "what I did to overcome..."
-Student questions of "how do I..."
-Study tips from both instructor/student (maybe someone will come up with a hipper "please excuse my dear aunt sally"!
Is anyone here trying this stuff? Know of someone that is? Have grand ideas?
I'd love to hear,
Brian

Grab your list of students and you do the friending. Don't leave that to
them.
