On the use of twitter in class

For class we frequently make use of Twitter to discuss both concepts from homework readings as well as to discuss ideas for various assignments. Not only does the use of Twitter allows for an easy way to connect to both other students as well as the instructor when questions arise from the readings which are often complex and require some clarification so that complete understanding is possible. Furthermore, our use of twitter in which coherent thoughts are necessary while being consistent with a limit on the number of characters within the message helps us practice use of concise language to convey complex but coherent ideas. This helps us most as Twitter becomes more ingrained in all branches of society resulting in a need to use twitter while still conveying and ability to use proper english when the appropriate time arrises.
