It can be very difficult to follow responses on Twitter's platform when trying to hold a discussion.

It is possible to tweet multiple times in a row in order to complete a point but that makes it confusing to follow the train of thought.

Although Twitter is expanding rapidly into the professional world, using it as a discussion tool for class is not effective practice.

Depending on the topic, this lack of depth can be detrimental to the conversation.

Being limited to 140 characters causes a lack of depth in the arguments #TwitterizingOlaf

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

@KLWOfficial I agree, the accessibility is very valuable

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

Going to the hashtag's feed is very helpful when trying to follow the conversation in real time #TwitterizingOlaf

In the future, will there be a growth in educational use of Twitter? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

When using Twitter for academic purposes I think it's important to isolate yourself from other online distractions #TwitterizingOlaf

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

I think it's important for the instructors to do brief training on how to use Twitter effectively for educational purposes #TwitterizingOlaf

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

In my opinion, using Twitter as an academic tool can be an effective way of learning in a discussion based course #TwitterizingOlaf

[Colin Gallagher @cgallagher01]

Using Twitter as an academic tool helps to open the conversation to a very public audience allowing for external responses #TwitterizingOlaf
