I've been thinking a lot about using Twitter to get my students connected not only to a text they read, but also to each other as they read it. Some students are amazing at finding support material to help them understand the context of a novel. Some are good at reviewing summaries of dense text before reading. It would be great if they relied on each other for support as they read a novel. Twitter to the rescue! Managing students in an online course as the learn about Twitter and then post helpful information is probably going to be a challenge, but I'm going to try it.
A great resource for educators wanting to learn more about Twitter
