The application that I chose is Twitter. This service is something still intrigues me. I still believe that while it is very popular, it still has not found its true purpose. There is everything on there from breaking news feeds to celebs letting everyone know that they just got Starbucks. I think that its usability and functionality would be a great communication source in the classroom. It works as a good backchannel communication tool that would allow for students to communicate with each other as well as the professor during class. This works great as a real time communication avenue that can help the professor target specific themes and lessons that students are interested in or are having problems with. If there was one draw back that I have to point out is that it could serve as a distraction with students "tweeting" during class.
