Learn how (and why) to twitter
Twitter has become an important tool in our learning landscape. We managed to get the DoE (National) to open it up through the Sita firewalls. All it took was a little bit of motivation (see post). To see why and how to twitter and how to create your twitter learning network, please work through the following learning object I created for the Department of Education. There are links to teacher twitter communities and tools contained within the object.
- On slideshare
- Download the powerpoint learning object to see all the animations
- Please give feedback using the comment window at the bottom.
