A clever take-off on the recent VLE-is-dead theme: Twitter is dead. David Hopkins summarizes and discusses a presentation by Tony McNeill at the Plymouth e-Learning Conference. "Tony uses the tag line of ‘Reflections on student resistance to microblogging' for the presentation, and that is what it is, reflection. It doesn't constitute ‘research' but it wouldn't be too far to stretch the imagination that a full research paper on this would come up with very similar results... Obviously, Twitter is not dead (yet) but to make sure this doesn't happen is partly our responsibility; to ensure it is used appropriately with our students, and not just for the sake of integrating a fashionable technology."
