Very, very interesting and controlled !!
Though I do not have a Twitter, I find this very interesting. I think that if teachers did end up using this the kids who do have a twitter would get more involved in the assignment, but I'm not sure what they'd do with the kids like me would do during this lesson. Overall, I think this is a really cool and unique idea that could probably done with other social networking sites aswell.
