twitter in the classroom

Many people have not heard about using twitter in the classroom. I think that this could be a great idea if it was done in the right way. Many more children would be involved in classroom discussion if they knew it was going to be anonymous. Children do not like to speak up in class, but if they had some way of sending in their questions, then they would get it answered. Nine times out of ten, if one person has a question, there is at least one other student who is thinking the same thing. If you created a hashtag for the students to use, you could have all of the questions sorted into one page. This would be a fun thing to incorporate because they children will use technology whether you want them to or not.
