www.twitter.com These days everbody knows the tool Twitter. But the biggest group uses Twitter just to give updates of their social life, like on Facebook. You see people on Twitter that post that they are going to take a shower or eating a sandwich. But you can use Twitter also for educating children. You can use it for English lessons or geography. You can Twitter with a writer or a lawyer. With the hashtag(#) feature you can reach a lot of people. For example: If you want to know something about Düsseldorf (Germany) you can ask a question: "How's the public transfer in Düsseldorf? #Düsseldorf". Every person in the world who Twitters can react on this question by answer on Twitter by typing the answer and ending it with #Düsseldorf. I would like to try this feature in my class.
Advantage: - You can reach a lot of people all over the world - You can chat with people online without being near them. - Fast reactions
Disadvantage: - Not all the information on Twitter is true. - There is a lot advertising on Twitter.
