Web 2.0 Learning: twitter
Last month, I read with deep interest Time cover story on How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live. In an example, the writer described how twitter's platform lent itself successfully for an open conversation during a conference. This got me thinking how twitter can be used for learning. Here are some raw ideas at a tactical level: Reminders to complete preassessments. The tweet should have link to the preassessment/prework. It does not matter if the link is behind the firewall. Only authorized users in your organization/clients will be able to access the link. Reminders to complete evaluation questionnaire. Again, the tweet has the survey url. Tip/tool/shortcut of the day.
