Debate?
Can we INSIST that students have Twitter? Concerns about privacy? Set up a PRIVATE (locked) account.
Is it a voluntary add-on, or can it be used as a form of assessment?

Why would you want to?
“Twitter is anything but complicated” Plenty of websites offering help on how to get started.
Much to gain, lots to share Save re-invention of the wheel Widen the student learning experience
