Twitter and Facebook in School?

Twitter and Facebook should be something that teachers use to keep themselves connected and to continuously learn new things, but I dont think they should be used with students.  Students are already so distracted in class and adding a tool like these are just going to add to the distractions. If anyone has any positives on using them in the classroom I'm open to any ideas...

  5. Twitter and Facbook can be useful in having a place to remind students to do homework or have links and educational resources that students can have access to at home.

  6. I agree with Rien, except the limited character count of Twitter could prove more difficult than facebook...
