Twitter - My favorite Social Media Tool !!
Twitter is the tool for Educational PLNs / Professional Development.. I
know many just cannot get into it, but believe me when I tell you it is very
useful. It is not just a chat medium, Although it can be hampered by the 140
character limit, much can be learned from those few characters - primarily those
few characters are a link to current awareness tools such as news, magazines,
weather, sports & yes last but not least - educational blogs &
experts. The education field has been an early adopter of Twitter & there
is a lot out there... No need to reinvent the wheel. Conversations are also
hosted at various times on Twitter dealing with various groups under hash tags
such as #edtechchat and #1to1ipadchat
So watch the linked slide show & watch these two short videos - give it
a try!
Twitter can be accessed on the web, and through various twitter based apps
on your cellphone.
For more information see me in the library.
