@WarnerEDE484 Neat! Conversations with the hashtag all appear. This is a nice way to organize and keep track of conversations #WarnerEDE484

[nan @OTLNan]

@WarnerEDE484 I see. Thanks!

[nan @OTLNan]

@WarnerEDE484 Still not quite getting used to hashtags and what it does #WarnerEDE484

[nan @OTLNan]

@WarnerEDE484 Class twitter board? Where can I find that? Is this page the board you are talking about?

[nan @OTLNan]

@WarnerEDE484 Hi Dave, this is Nan! Are we going to use Twitter for the rest of the semester?

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 Affordances- sharing resources and ideas; getting to know each other outside class; use # to keep track of interesting conversation

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 If students are getting used to quick/short thoughts and responses, will it impede development of thorough writing and thinking?

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 As for using Twitter for learning, it may be better to ask students to set up a "student" account, not using their personal account

[nan @OTLNan]

@AriJElliot @EDE_484 Twitter and other new communication tools could possibly increase the gap between people who use and do not use it.

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 140-character could be a limitation especially for discussion. It could take multiple tweets & the # of tweets can be overwhelming.

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 I agree with Greg and Ari that sharing useful resources on Twitter is a Big plus. Getting connected to interest groups is also nice

[nan @OTLNan]

@YenbioV @EDE_484 Yen, I agree with you. Teaching teachers, students and parents how to useTwitter as additional learning space is crucial.

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 Not sure about "real time" conversations. If people are not on Twitter all the time, will it be much different than FB or DB in BB?

[nan @OTLNan]

@jenmammen @EDE_484 Same here, mixed feelings. Twitter is a great tool but it depends on how people use/structure it in their teaching.

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 First time using Twitter. I am using a similar networking tool "weibo" (microblogging) with my friends back home in Mainland China.

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 Hi this is Nan!

[nan @OTLNan]

@jenmammen @EDE_484 When I tweet to EDE_484, will others also see my tweets if they haven't followed me personally?

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 So for me to read other's tweets, I need to follow them? But the syllabus sais "we do not need to follow others only follow EDE484"

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 @JimVerSteeg @ChrissyH918 @AriJElliot @jenmammen @ylinatuofr @YenbioV @RobinFrye14 @GregDobson1 @ChunyanXiao @zenborys This is Nan!

[nan @OTLNan]

@EDE_484 Do I have to tag others when I tweet to you so that they can also read my tweets?
