@KathrynHindy You've been quoted in my #Storify story "Tweeting as Learning/Discussion?" https://t.co/vcLrunQkcM

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@kshadek1 I agree, although some would argue that the lack of organization could be beneficial. Thoughts? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@matt_stroud_ I like this idea a lot -- what other platforms might be potentially better resources? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@KathrynHindy Sort of like the point in an earlier reading - tech platforms might encourage authentic student responses. #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@kshadek1 Keep going - why not?

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@eric_hancock Twitter is so new to education that profs have a hard time figuring it out. Any way to catch us up? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@natkells1219 Is it the student's responsibility or the teacher's to keep students on task? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@maes_in111p Organization is a huge issue. Collecting all responses under one master post from the prof is easier #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@cgallagher01 yes, definitely. Who will do that training, though? And what are appropriate educational uses? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@MariaLind3 agreed! Someone's dad joined in last semester, which was fun. #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@ErikBerg97 Social networking can fulfill both functions, administrative and academic. Is one better than the other? #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@LainieMarie3 Yes, super important - although *requiring* participation opens a whole different can of worms . . . #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@KLWOfficial interesting point - how could that personal element be detrimental? Just curious. #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@cgallagher01 I totally agree that it's important to narrow one's focus, but how can we do that? #TwitterizingOlaf

Whew -- holding a discussion-based class via Twitter is exhausting (and invigorating)! Glad we don't do this every week. #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@harrisondlawre1 @thomaslerdall Sounds good to me. #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@mitchelltswizz Due Wednesday, please #TwitterizingOlaf

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@brianklein09 Oh wait . . . were you asking about writing about Twitter? If so, the answer is yes. The prompt is on the assignment sheet.

[Elisabeth G Alderks @EGAlderks]

@brianklein09 Haha, you can compose it as a series of tweets if you'd like!
