Twitter in the Classroom - Should we have students tweeting at school?

I think there is a place for tweeting at school. The students love to use technology and I think it would peak their interest in any subject it is being used in. Of course the students need to be able to write, but I think it could be used in grades as low as third grade. I equate it to the use of the classroom response clickers. It has an advantage over them in that you can send free form answers as opposed to multiple choice responses. It can also be a great way to get kids talking about what is being taught. As with any form of technology, there are risks and they would need to be thought out and addressed prior to use.
