Twitter can be utilized for many educational purposes throughout the classroom. It allows educators to gauge student thinking or opinion in a modern yet engaging way. Many students are
technologically savvy and aware of the functions of this app, thus educators can utilize this website for two purposes: to keep students updated and aware for homework assignments, or create discussion posts that students can respond to.
As an educator, this app can be extremely functional to update students with their homework or various assignments as it notifies students immediately of the post you create. This particular notification can go a long way as it immediately notifies the student as well as serving as a reminder that students can adhere to if they become forgetful of what is due. Moreover, this app is extremely useful for student discussion blogs where the educator can post a discussion question and the students must respond to it with their short opinion, of 140 characters, for participating purposes.
Although there are various platforms that allows students to create discussion posts, twitter would be ideal since the students are familiar with this technology and it is engaging and entertaining for them; essentially educators are speaking their language.
Therefore, this app is extremely useful when utilized in these forms for educational purposes, allowing the educator to reach their students in numerous ways.
