It's really great way to connect to students.I think in these days Twitter is widely used by people.In this digital world use of new technology is very important for making life easy.
Those who think blogging skills are exercised using Twitter know nothing about either. Blogging can involve analysis and distillation, filtered through an individual's worldview, to present information on a topic. It is impossible to blog in the 140-character limited Twitter format.
Yeah its really good and interesting way of learning in the schools.
These days many social sites are really helpful in learning like Twitter,likedin. These are helpful to communicate with other and one can share your thoughts through this.
Thanks

Most of our teachers in school are already hooked in Twitter. This is actually a great way for them to connect with their students.
Edmodo is The Twitter for education, really useful.
