The specter of WikipediaRecognition and pedagogies
Twitter republication
Twitter in class
“Assignments – A bit of tinkering led us to the conclusion that a minimalist approach is best. After asking the students to read five forensics articles related to the historical case and send two tweets about each, we all agreed this was counter-productive and too hard to track. After that barrage, the typical assignment involved posting one comment and one question to classmates. After a while, one question OR comment seemed enough.”
Mike Winiski, Furman University
Twitter for professional development
“I could look inside the minds of motivated peers to learn about the new projects they were undertaking, the research reports they were studying, and Web sites they were exploring. As my comfort with Twitter grew—a process that took a few months, as is typical for new users—I became an active contributor to this knowledge network.”
