I think there would be real value in a twitter discussing - real time, in class. There is some evidence that electronic communication - even in a classroom with all present - encourages some to join in that would other wise be reluctant, and alows some to "stand up" to the opinions of stronger class members who might not do so verbally.

Maybe for your "micro meet" you could use a hashtag and 'meet' at tweetchat.com that way even if they're not all following each other, they can track the conversation.
