Twitter is multi-faceted social networking took that lends itself to synchronous and asynchronous communication. Twitter can transform social networking into educational networking. In the hands of a skilled teacher, Twitter can be a sound pedagogical tool in any discipline, and it can develop 21st literacy skills. Students can share knowledge, follow experts, converse via questions and discussion, and belong to a community that is not restricted by classroom walls. The conclusions reached in a recent study conducted by Junco, Heibergert and Loken (2010) suggest that using Twitter in educationally relevant ways can increase student engagement and improve grades because of faculty and student engagement in the learning process through communication and connections on Twitter.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Tweets are more often than not considered mindless banalities… it is the cocktail party of one’s virtual life. Though allowing students to speak in “sound bites” and “self-obsess” (http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/2699/a-professors-tips-for-using-twitter-in-the-classroom) via Twitter may seem to contradict the concept of higher learning and the quest for knowledgeHow can these self-obsessive sound bites contain transferrable skills to education?
- And again in egyptin January 2011Can Barrack Obama get a “kill the net switch” approved?
- Twitter is a microblogging service, a social network site thatenables learning, communication, sharing, collaboration, communityIt is always on, always connected…so are the tweeps
- Where you tweet in 140 characters or less – message size is key to Twitter’s successRT – tweet worth sharing with your timeline sharing and crediting resourcesLinks – twitpic pictures no separate account required / links to articles, sites, etc. open in new browser tab/windowHashtag – way to join a conversation about a certain “trending topic” – useful for conferences (#ACTFL10), current events, etc. cavaet. #hashtags have a shelflife. If it is not used for a certain period of time, it is no longer searchable
- At the beginning of a tweet, the conversation is “recordable”…that is it is easy to read the thread of the dialogue. In the middle of a tweet, the thread of the dialogue is lost.Why is it important to haveDMs? Everything on twitter is open, searchable by Google and other search engines. Conversations maybe easily followed. So if this openness is an issue, the twitterer should lock the account, an option offered in the account setup. Advantages to a private twitter account are that it is exclusive to friends, no spambots or people who like to friend anyone. Disadvantages, hard to develop your PLN if people don’t cannot read your tweets on your area of expertise or areas you would like to develop.
- Twitter is a microblogging service, a social network site thatenables learning, communication, sharing, collaboration, communitySHARE-Knowledge, ideas, linksFollow-experts/gurus, learning domains, trendsBuild-groups, courses, communitiesConverse-questions, reflections, discussionsIt is always on, always connected…so are the tweepsResearch has been conducted on the content (what we tweet), what we share and what we learn (students perceptions), the building of communities.
- It behooves me to stop at this point and state that many scholars, researchers, teachers, students alike know that technology doesn’t make good pedagogy. So despite twitter’s “popularity”, should you use it in your class? Only if it meets our goals. Here, I present to you the tool alignment & adoption model as presented by Sarah Smith roberts aka @intellagirl
- Strategic – activities = Goals to engage in that encourage users to engage in the tooTactical – genres = Communication behaviors that are stable responses to recurrent communication situationsOperational – mechanics= Abilities that allow users to engage in genres
- London school of economics - Successfully defended September 2007 – @ev and @jack launch twitter in March 2006 The findings are discussed within a theoretical framework exploring the role of society in shaping technology and the influence a technology’s design may have on how it is used. the Social Shaping of Technology (SST) and Social Construction of Technology (SCOT), 3,371 tweets were classifiedTaken together, it could be argued that Twitter’s creators established it as a ‘neutral’ platform, entirely malleable by its users and therefore affording them the opportunity to determine its core uses.
- CALICO MONOGRAPH SERIES chapter 4 My study – research conducted in Spring of 2008Dunlap, J. C. & Lowenthal, P. R. (2009). Tweeting the night away: Using Twitter to enhance social presence. Journal of Information Systems Education, 20(2). Another study by Lowenthal and Dunlap, in the fall of 2008 looked at the role of twitter in an online instructional design and technology courses. We did not require students to participate, but invited them to join us in our Twitter adventure as we tested its instructional potential. Although not everyone chose to participate, most did with positive results. This was integrated as a mechanism for just-in-time social interactions.
- Same institution as David Parry, author and persona @AcademHack who recognized the value of this social networking tool & commenced a conversation on transforming it to educational networking (blog posts in early 2007 and 2008)Use of twitter as an inclass tool that allowed for participation, reflection and further comments after class too. Twitter stream monitored by graduate TA and students who didn’t have a computer, mobile device, not comfortable with tweeting, would leave comments with TA who would post them after the lesson
