Knowledge, Learning, Community
There's a post about Twitter at Stowe Boyd's blog that spoke to me about one feature of Twitter. In particular, the guest author (Matt Balara) writes about the value of having a daily presence in the life of someone you care about, and compares that to the amount of communication we typically have with someone who's not connected. "He writes emails (rarely) and calls me occasionally. Although he's one of my favourite people in the world, and we have a great time together when we see each other once a month, I know less about what's he's doing every day than I know about any number of people I've never met who're sitting on the other side of the world." I'm still searching for the killer way to use Twitter in online learning. It's got to be there somewhere, but very well hidden. -BD
