"On 21 August 2012 I published a post entitled #uklibchat, #ECRchat, #PhDchat, #Socialchat and Other Tweetchats which provided an introduction to “Tweetchats” and illustrated how researchers and information professionals are using the open realtime discussion environment provided by a simple combination of Twitter and a hashtag to share ideas and discuss topics of comment interest with their peers."

"Dr. Rankin, professor of History at UT Dallas, wanted to know how to reach more students and involve more people in class discussions both in and out of the classroom. She had heard of Twitter ..."
A great illustration of how social media can be used for learning. Each student has a voice using the class group hastag on twitter and the twitter stream is displayed in class for further dscussion. NICE!

Here’s some ammunition for what often turns into a pitched, take-sides verbal brawl as well-intended teachers try to come to a compromise on using Twitter (in fact, many of the new Web 2.0 tools–blogs, wikis, websites that require registrations and log-ins, discussion forums. You can probably add to this list) that works for all stakeholders Via Maggie Verster, Deborah Millar Delete the scoop?

After two articles in the irish papers (links below) where I was asked about how I use twitter in my classroom, I decided to detail what exactly I do, so that it’s a little clearer.
Before I begin though we have to talk about fear. There’s so much fear about the educational value of twitter from teachers, managers, parents and students that some might be worried about entering that lion’s den. My answer to these fears is simple: the internet is where kids are, schools have to go there. It was video for an earlier generation and tv before that. It was probably radio once and I’m sure some Greeks were worried about writing things down rather than learning them by heart. Students will always be ahead of us, so why not meet them there, rather than dismiss them as fad-followers or time-wasters? Via Professor Jill Jameson, Deborah Millar Delete the scoop?

I signed up for Twitter several years ago but struggled to understand the point. What is it? What is it for? What information can I share in 140 characters? I did what millions of other people do: followed famous people, sportsmen, rappers, comedians and actors. Much of the time, it turned out, they didn't have anything that interesting to say and, after a few weeks, I gave up on it.
Then, as the site grew in popularity, I decided to give it another chance. I had about 30 followers, mostly my friends. Every few days I would tweet about what I was doing and share songs, music videos and news articles and now and again I would tweet one of the many musicians I followed. Good fun but not particularly productive. Delete the scoop?

Displaying live tweets at events is becoming more and more commonplace, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to review some of the websites available that allow you to do this.
Building up a social media buzz during events has many advantages: the Twitter backchannel can provide a useful opportunity for peer networking (especially at larger events where you might struggle to meet up and chat with everyone in person); receiving instant feedback from delegates on the day; and there’s also an opening for people who are not present in person who are following the hashtag to contribute to the event with useful links, comments, etc. Delete the scoop?
