It was mentioned in class that social networks such as twitter could be used in classrooms for engaged discussions. Teachers believe this could help students engage in productive communication using the internet.
I think this presents a problem as students will easily be distracted and will not stay on task. With my experiences in classrooms, it is hard to keep a watchful eye on every computer in the classroom and students will explore irrelevent material on the internet.
Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy seems to be a possible usefule tool to use. It does not have the communication aspects of twitter however presents information in a logical manner.
