Twitter is a great tool to host a group discussion on a chosen subject at a specific time. However, it is easy for the conversation thread to be lost in the Twitosphere with hundreds of tweets appearing on your timeline.
A useful tool for the classroom
A simple way to filter out content and focus the discussion for classroom purposes is a Twitter TweetChat. TweetChat creates Twitter-based online-chat rooms, based on Twitter’s hashtag feature (for example, #iranelection or #tweetpals2).
You select a hashtag, and TweetChat creates a virtual "chat-room" that shows you all the tweets that people are posting that include that hashtag in realtime.
With a clean, uncluttered interface, it is easy to login to TweetChat using your Twitter account.
You are now ready to TweetChat!
