Good option for homework

Here are the two major drawbacks I can see with this app: - Students should not be able to take down their own posts - Teachers should have the ability to approve student posts *I understand the idea is to post immediately, emulating social media I made a test student account, and I am really pleased to see that there is a set of avatars students can pre-select. I am still worried students would be able to post without my knowing and take their post down again before I see it. I don't like that.

I like Twiducate because it offers a Twitter like backchannel environment where students are safe and not open for public viewing. Teachers create classroom specific accounts, where they add students and pose questions. Students are able to respond to teacher questions as if they are Tweeting. This is great for schools who are not yet ready to truly embrace main stream social media in the classroom. Originally created by educators. It offers a mobile platform as well as web based, so cell phone use is not a requirement to use the tool.
