The Twitter Experiment

A professor at UT Dallas encourages her students to contribute to class discussion using Twitter updates, which are projected on a wall for the rest of the class to see.  Not sure if this would improve the classroom experience or not (seems distracting to me and doesn’t push students to build a complete argument), but an interesting experiment.
