Teaching and Twitter

Question

Can anyone share their ideas about teaching English via Twitter? Some projects, perhaps))))

Hi,

I really don't know anything about Twitter, but my understanding is that a tweet is limited to 140 characters. Teaching with a limitation like that seems like a challenge.

I'll be interested to see what creative suggestions you receive.

Good luck, Clive

I use Twitter to teach ESL! Find English_For_You at Twitter to see my tweets and how it can be done! (This msg contains 139 characters) : )

I had considered this medium to teach and I had quite a few ideas. The principle of all of them was to stick to teaching one topic only. For example, English idioms and English idioms only. As Clive mentioned, the character limitations makes it a challenging task to teach a language and I don't feel it is very useful to do one thing today and one thing the next. If people who aren't exposed to English could receive their Tweets on walls, at the bottom of their coffee cup, on their food labels, on the back of peoples' heads, it might be useful. But they need to be connected to get them. As we say in Spanish, why bring a sandwich to a banquet?

Anyway, don't listen to me. I gave up on the idea not because of the character limitations, but because of the lack of followers.
