Trying something new here… I haven’t found the perfect way to post articles on my blog. I’ve tried holding them until I make a post of my own on the topic (which doesn’t always happen in a timely fashion), and I’ve tried adding them to my blogroll (which people won’t see if they subscribe, and won’t come up in a search, and isn’t part of my tags/categories).
In any case, I read an interesting article about using Twitter for teaching, the pros and cons to giving students an open (and anonymous) forum during class. A very interesting read, and another look at using a social tool for educational purposes.
The Chronicle of Higher Education – Teaching With Twitter: Not for the Faint of Heart
Enjoy!
It’s funny because at almost every social media site you can use for eLearning, which is great. That is the beauty of technology. Make people life easier.
