Give these suggestions a try and maybe you’ll change your mind. aseldow Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:34:09 +0000 twitter library librarians resources library resources http://tbarrett.edublogs.org/2008/03/29/twitter-a-teaching-and-learning-tool/ I think I have found the perfect place to reflect on the way a network, and specifically how Twitter, can impact on what goes on in the classroom. No mains gas, no telephones, no mobile signal, no internet connection, no possible way to interact with my personal learning network (PLN). Tucked away in the Cornish countryside the location of the cottage we are staying in provokes vocabulary such as: isolated, severed, detached and remote. But similar rhetoric could also be applied to the lack of connection I have with my network. I am removed from the network I want to reflect upon and away from the classroom that it can impact. This perspective is welcome as it offers me clarity of thought, as I write, that I have not had for a long time. In this post I hope to unpick what my Twitter network means to me in terms of my classroom practise and explore the best ways that you can utilise it in your own classroom. aseldow Wed, 02 Apr 2008 17:00:17 +0000 twitter social networking teaching and learning ict classroom http://academhack.outsidethetext.com/home/2008/twitter-for-academia/ I must admit that when I first heard about Twitter I thought it represented the apex of what concerns me about internet technology: solipsism and sound-bite communication.
