Twitter in Education

Twitter in education does not seem like a good idea to me. I see the kind of things that are posted on twitter, and I honestly feel that it is more appropriate for entertainment purposes, and not educational purposes. I could see how it might be helpful to have a class twitter site to keep up on announcements or lesson plans, as opposed to a class website. I can also see where it CAN be beneficial, as in the farm problem mentioned in class. I don't feel that I am comfortable enough with twitter to use it in the way that teacher did. If teachers are going to have a twitter as a class site, then I don't think that the teacher should use a personal twitter account. It is too easily accessible by your students and their parents. Twitter is more suited for entertainment and I don't think it has a place in education, at this time; not for me, anyway.
