Question of the Week - Does twitter help you learn?

Here we see three students reading a Journal article about native plants.  They were able to tweet the school involved to ask them questions directly.  Does this use of Twitter help them learn?  What are they learning?

What I think is  it does help us learn because when you tweet something based off your learning everyone can see and it is really helpful when  people give really good feedback and you can learn off their comment and it shows you what to do next time.
