The twitter format promotes concise thought, and instant feedback. This lets students communicate their ideas widely and receive near instant feedback.
Students follow each other (and others) on Twitter, which lets their peers see/hear what they are saying right away.
I have used Twitter in theatre productions for the audience to engage with each other and the cast.

This is a formative assessment that I would have never thought of to get answers from students. In today’s age every kid has a tweeter, this strategy may reach out to those kids who do not pay attention in class and pay attention to technology. It is not a strategy that I would be comfortable with, but if a teacher is comfortable with a formative assessment using tweeter it would be a cool and fun strategy.

1.The benifits of students tweeting their r learning allows for asssessments in "real time". Students are able to share their learning with the world in a way that promotes self expression of learning. Twitter allows for transparancy but it also allows for changes, additions and the removal of the tweet if a students does not want to leave his/her responses up for the world to see.
2. Students can become confudent becasue they can SEE that their work has value and purpose. What the have learned does matter
