Caution“We find that the search API over-represents the more central users and does not offer an accurate picture of peripheral activity; we also find that the
bias is greater for the network of mentions”

Why
• Mobility – crossing the dived between in and out of class
• Flexibility – not hard to add functionality and interface with Twitter service
• Learner communities – opportunity to share learning within cohort and further afield
• Light intervention – brevity of 140 characters allows less but more often
• Lifelong – connections made in the class can support further independent learning

Why not
• Distraction
• Reliance on 3rd party services
• Privacy
• Educational value
• Equality
