Twitter in ESL/EFL Bibliography

The following was prepared in preparation for a discussion at TESOL 2009, called "Technology as aid, crutch, and impediment, held on Mar. 27, 2009 at 4:00 PM, in the Colorado Convention Center Rm. 712. It was a Discussion (#142376) for the Second Language Writing Interest Section. My partner for this discussion was Elisa Hunt. I have not figured out how to use Twitter in an esl/efl educational setting; I only know that the world has changed, and isn't going back. This bibliography will be updated as time permits - Thomas Leverett, CESL, Southern Illinois Univ., Carbondale IL USA 62901-4518.
