Wordle and Twitter

I could see using Wordle as a attention grabber or to showcase a given story in class, but I do not see much educational use which will benefit the students.
On the other hand, I have to admit Twitter could be very useful in the classroom. I would not make it a requirement, but I would setup a class twitter account for students to follow. I would use it to send out reminders about tests, projects, and other class news. Parents could also follow so they would also know what was going on in class. The only downfall is not everyone has Twitter so I would still have to use other outlets to inform those who do not have Twitter. With that in mind, updating Twitter might be a waste of time for a class who has no desire to setup a Twitter account.

Sweet new chairs in class today!!
