One of the most effective ways to affect and facilitate changes needed in K-12 education is the use of technology. Successful implementation of technology in classrooms will benefit students and teachers in fully st understanding 21 century skills needed to teach and learn with technology, (Raible, Kirkley, & Chen, 2009; Bos & Lee, 2010). As various Web 2.0 tools are integrated in K-12 st education to address the needs of 21 century learners a new micro blogging social networking tool utilizing 140 characters or less, tweets or messages, is fast becoming a pedagogical tool at all levels of education. Twitter allows users to broadcast and receive tweets or messages. Research show that Twitter grew 6 times faster than Facebook, the worldwide largest social networking platform and continues to outpace Facebook in growth worldwide, (Nielsen, 2009). This growth means that digital natives, especially high school students, are more likely to use Twitter as part of their social network platform. As educators design instructions to find students where they socially "hang out" Twitter as one of the fastest growing Web By st 2.0 is an ideal platform to reach and engage 21 century learners.
