Twitter in the classroom

There are so many ideas out there for using Twitter in the classroom it was hard to just pick one that I might use. I am really busy and many teachers are so sitting down and finding the time to create Twitter scavenger hunts, and collaborative stories are great ideas but would take some time to prepare for. The easiest and quickest idea I found for using Twitter was posting a daily word game to change students and build vocabulary. The teacher would post a word scrambled up and students would have to unscramble the word and figure out its definition. This would be easy to tie to any content area and students would enjoy using technology to figure out the answer.
