Cons
* Con: none
* It was a little confusing.
* Attempting to figure out Twitter, like when to use the pound or 'at' sign and for what.
* I could never remember my password, so everything took longer.
* It was too much work.
* Twitter just isn't my cup of tea.
* I just didn't like it. Not for me.
* I never used it before.
* Extra assignment at the end of the session.
* It's a bit shallow and short.
* Didn't use it often.
* I am no longer able to say I don't use twitter.
* I don't think it was all too effective but it wasn't a bad experience.
* I could never remember my password, so everything took longer.
* Took time out of class activities and discussions.
* D2L already has a discussion board section which makes Twitter just another similar system.
* Wasn't really interested. I think communication in person works better for mentor sessions.
* It's still sometimes considered as a waste of time.
* Just generally don't use twitter so I barely logged in to see the updates.
* I don't log onto twitter much, so I have missed out on the useful links.
* I got twitter and still don't understand it.
* I did not think that twitter was effective for me.
* We still are disconnected to the real world around us.
* Bad thing is I don't use it a lot, because my friends don't use.
* Hard to learn- still dont know exactly how to use it.
* Had such a difficult time logging in every single time.
* Setting up account was hard/time consuming.
* I didn't use twitter very often outside of class.
* Hate shortening words into words that aren't real, btw :)
* Twitter is too complicated.
* Kind of a hassle to use and took a long time to find things.
* Only used it maybe four times and never looked at it unless was in class for the assignment!
* No one really uses Twitter and its really difficult for class-use.
* A con for using twitter for class would be that exit tickets can get repetitive.
* I am not really a twitter person, so it really didn't help me. I think d2l will be much helpful, because all students use that.
