Twitter – a teaching and learning tool

I’ve been collecting lots of posts about Twitter in my Del.ici.ous collection, all of them good reads providing information, ideas, or reflections on the ‘whys and wherefores’ of Twitter use.

No surprise then that I was alerted to Tom Barrett’s post Twitter – A Teacher and Learning Tool via Twitter.

In my experience, and in the short time that I have used it, Twitter has grown quickly to play a major part in the way that I interact with fellow colleagues and professionals from around the world. In my classroom and with the children I teach it has been an exciting tool to utilise and support learning.

Tom has written a brilliant post, that explains and elaborates on the function and scope of Twitter – and rather fantastically extends our horizons with ideas for integrating this micro-blogging tool into our teaching and learning activities.

GO and read the post! Go on! :-)

    Have you seen the Microblogging section of the LibSuccess wiki? It has lots of info. on how to use Twitter in libraries, including links to Twitter accounts by libraries and articles about microblogging. Kind of fun! http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Microblogging

    Hi,
    Caught your blog on my scan and I too, have been using Twitter to expand my own learning network. I’ve been building a Twitter_EdTech/del.icio.us mashup that you might be interested in as well. Here’s how it works: http://macmomma.blogspot.com/2008/03/id-like-to-thank-my-producers-mom-dad.html

    I’d like to follow you on Twitter, but I don’t see your Twitter name anymore. I’m @teachakidd.

    See you there!

    ~Lee
