It will be interesting to see how the students react to the additional info. I have it on my George Brown syllabus but then again I’m teaching “trainer’s toolkits” using new media so it seems appropriate there. Let me know how it goes with your class

Robin, do you just list the Twitter name, or are you planning a listed assignment around it?

I will certainly share what I learn, Chris.

This is an exciting time, as education often follows practice and tries to explain and organize how best to approach it. I am usually well after the point when practice itself is developing, much less when education tries to explore it!

I like using Twitter, Kimberly, even though my students are not always the most open to using it (regardless of the age of the students I am teaching at the time). There is increasing discussion about using it, from everything as a test review to a classroom backchannel, though I suppose the main issue is that communication in education has changed and continues to change quicker than those of us who have finally figured out how to expect even basic email communication in a class.
