The World A.T. Ways » In which the whole world is all atwitter
So how could you use Twitter? Well, you could use Twitter
1. to share your knowledge and learn from others as Sherry Amorocho describes in Four magic bytes. Joe Dale has a great post about the power of Twitter when used as part of your personal learning network.
2. to aggregate real-time data that out-performs Google for live event coverage and for tapping into the conversations and ideas of people all over the world. This is a great way to integrate interdisciplinary content into your curriculum.
3. to maximize your conference experience. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if conference attendees could easily access constantly updated information on great (and not so great) sessions, session cancellations and moved venues, find out the best spots to eat and greet, and virtually engage in some of those terrific, spontaneous hallway discussions that so often happen at conferences? With Twitter, hashtags and a laptop or mobile phone, you can. And our colleagues who couldn’t attend could still get something out of following these conversations online.
4. to use as a back channel during class as a way to more fully engage students as Ira Socol did with his undergraduates. Assuredly very controversial, but very intriguing and worthy of further exploration.
5. to record (concisely) your impressions of recent conversations, readings or experiences. Twitter archives all your ‘tweets’ and since each message is short, I find it incredibly useful to be able to go back and look at this abbreviated and hyperlinked diary of mine. Twitter also lets you ‘favorite’ messages, yours and others, and stores them for you in your favorites section for easy reference. Even better, I can check out other Twitterer’s favorites, too.
