HOW: Twitter in the Classroom

Nice video posted by Mark Barnes over at Learn It In 5 on how to set up Twitter accounts for students.  Particular attention is given to the privacy settings for those for whom teaching minors is an issue.  Barnes is pretty passionate about opening Twitter up to all students, and you'll find more to read on his site about that topic.

I'm trying Today's Meet this semester for a backchannel in both secondary and post-secondary classes I teach, but have not committed students to using social media.  I appreciate the tips for adjusting privacy settings and setting Twitter handles, and will reference this piece in the future if I decide to.
