Twitter can be a useful tool in connecting the classroom and home.
Twitter can send out a daily update on what occurred in class and any upcoming events or major due dates.
Parents may find the use of twitter updates to be a very convenient way of sending out reminders since man of our students’ paretns are already using this site on a daily basis.
