 * Questions**

Twitter is a bare bones version of Facebook that allows you to keep tabs on what your friends are up to with just brief updates.

2. How does Twitter work? A member can text, visit the site to make updates, follow other members, and network with other people through mobile phones and the internet.

People just type in what they are up to, using less than 140 characters. They will get "feeds" on what their friends are doing when their friends post something new.

3. How might you use Twitter with other educators and/or students? Tweet your class assignments, your schedule, or information for other students and teachers.

Twitter would be a nice way for deaf students to practice their English with each other and keep up with what everyone is doing. You can also use twitter to dialogue with your colleagues that you don't see often if you are spread out.
