Are You Using Twitter As A Teaching Tool?

This article on using Twitter in the classroom states that it "helps students develop key skills in listening, information-gathering, multitasking and succinct writing." Twitter appears to be used primarily in Communications, PR, and Marketing classes.

I'm thinking of using Twitter in my management classes this fall-either as a visual aid for student presentations or as a way to review for exams. I would be curious to hear how others are using this technology.

Thanks to Wendy Drexler for pointing me to the article.

Dr. Kirk, thanks for the heads up on the Twitter article.

The use of "multitasking" caught my eye.

I've been reading John Medina's book Brain Rules. He has me rethinking "multitasking"
