Twitter in education

Can Twitter use in education system?

I think Twitter is open software. it has some problems with it. does Twitter design just like Ning.com. It will be better to teachers. As i know, pulic software does not easy control by teachers. Teachers does not know their students who are using it for school lesson.

i prefer to use Ning becuase Ning is like LMS. teachers can control their access. peers in the same classroom can be working together. students will get information from their peers in classroom without outsite junky information.
