Initial Thoughts on Using Twiiter in the Classroom!

I've always been pretty skeptical of tweeting, since I have only heard people and celebrities (namely Miley Cyrus) bashing people through their Twitter. I thinking using Twitter in the classroom could be a useful tool if it is used only for educational purposes and isn't used to degrade anyone in anyway. To me, since Twitter already has a negative connotation to it, I think that it would not be as useful as a class blog. The information that I found on using Twitter in the classroom was essentially the same was using a blog, except for it seems to me to be more open to the public and more susceptible to rambling on petty subjects. I think I might use Twitter in my classroom if I became more comfortable with it, but until then I think I will just stick to personal responses or blogging.
