A lot of times, they forget they can link to other great Web tools that let them expand the conversation past Twitter’s limitations (etherpad.com and tinypaste.com).

I think the teacher, and for that matter any business, that utilizes Twitter to engage the students on their turf will be much more successful than someone who tries to coral attention to a away from the audience’s native environment.
