Our group decided on the idea of using Twitter as a means for introducing a new group of students at the beginning of a school year. On the first day of classes, the teacher would introduce the idea of making a Twitter and have the students create a Twitter account at home and upload a profile picture. The next day, the teacher will have the students sign onto Twitter and follow students in the class. Then each student will write a few short tweets about themselves and the tweets will be posted on a projector for the whole class to see. This will help the the teacher and the students learn more about each other.
The benefits of using Twitter will help the students' relationships and the teacher-students' relationships grow because they will get to know each other and learn more about each person. However, the constraints of using Twitter in the classroom may result in bad tweets about the students and help rumors be spread around. This would not be good, especially for the beginning of the school year.
