#11. Microblogging
I love microblogging services such as Twitter for their up to the minute community connection.
The 140 character limit also really forces teachers and students to shorten their entries to the truly necessary information.
It is fantastic for brainstorming and rapid sharing of thoughts, ideas, and links.
Its use, rather than being trivial, can be central to group and class communication – keeping a group of collaborating students informed and on the same page.
Microblogging can also be a powerful reflective tool – it makes you stop and think about what you are doing at any given time, before communicating your thinking succinctly for others.
Consider adding tweets to your collaborative learning landscape today…
