Twitter...hmm

First thoughts on twitter are not positive.  I feel like the benefits that would come out of using twitter in the classroom are not to an extent that would make me use it in my classroom.  I do see the benefits of sharing information fast and concise with students and parents, collaborating among classmates and making sure there are updates on homework or any other class material but I do not think that these reasons are great enough to make me want to use twitter.  I think it would actually create more work and almost a disconnect from the teacher-student relationship and student-student relationship.  There is a disconnect from the teachers and students and teachers and parents that I see could happen if every thing is placed on the internet via blog spot, twitter, wikis....So even though I think twitter could be a cool and innovative way of communicating I do not see the necesity of it at this time...my opinion might change as time goes on and I become more familiar with it...?
