I found Twitter useful in large groups, but as you mentioned above, most people used it to monk the presenters. More people were reading Twitter and laughing at the responses than listening to the presenter.

I was at a tech conference for educators in Shanghai a few weeks ago. Great conference. They used Twitter and projected the comments on the screen behind the presenter. People were rude and inconsiderate to the presenters. While I see value in Twitter, I wouldn’t use it in that forum. I just started using wikis in my classroom for collaborative online assignments. It is still in the developmental stage, but the kids are enjoying this format. Kimzey Wiki: http://kimzeywiki.wetpaint.com/

Sorry for the late comment here, but the big issue is that by changing the user’s name, he essentially confirmed everything they were saying.
