It allows students to have their own accounts and keep up to date with the latest news. They are able to follow people that they may have never met before but are very interested in eg Julia Gillard. If the teacher also has an account it allows teachers to make quick announcements. Its an interesting way to keep in contact with students and for students to keep in contact with each other, it changes the classroom norm and dynamics.
 * Professional Use**

Its a excellent way to tell people what you are doing and where you are. You can also keep on track with what all your friends or family are doing. You are able to follow anyone you are interested in or even the news has twitter so you can keep update with the latest news. For example I follow all the news channels and along with my favourite designers and celebrities.

 * Possible Problems**
 * Students could easily get sidetracked looking up irrelevant topics or people
