HOOTCOURSE
HootCourse allows the instructor to aggregate student messages on a Twitter-like platform. Students have a choice of sending their message on to all their Twitter or Faceook contacts, or they can keep these messages in the course site. The Hootcourse screen can be shown on a classroom screen and used for discussion, and posts that contain a question mark or a link can also be listed in a separate stream. It has a special mode for classroom use, and even has an area where students can submit more detailed questions. HootCourse allows instant feedback from students, and their tweets are recorded in a class shell for assessment. Their customer support is stellar.

**PAPER.LI**
This application makes a newspaper from Twitter posts that contain web links. It extracts the material from the page and arranges it in an attractive newspaper format, with subject categories. Here's one I created, made up of links from people I follow on Twitter & FB. Whenever anyone posts something using one of my keywords, it becomes part of the paper. []

[|Follow, Heart, Reblog, Crush: Teaching Writing with Tumblr]
//[|Adriana Valdez Young]// By taking a quick glance at my member profile, you might guess that Tumblr is an online dating site, but although Tumblr frames site activity in the language of admiration and courtship, it is, in fact, a fantastically simple microblogging platform that is extremely adaptable for a spectrum of personal and professional uses. Tumblr members create an account and then can host one or several short-form blogs known as Tumblelogs, each one with a unique URL.
