Twitter in education





Shawn over at Anecdote has a very good description of how he has been using twitter in these first few days (not that he wrote the description specifically about my use of twitter):
_____________________________________________________________
It’s a mistake to think Twitter is only for reporting the minute detail of one’s life, which by the way is an important activity because it helps up create stronger social bonds. Twitter is also effective for asking questions and getting answers, sharing useful links on the web and getting those frustrations out when things are driving you nuts.

I do use Twitter two months ago I did not have experiences one for online chat sessions among a lof of people I never talked to them before, and that is essentially what that event was, or what it seemed like to me. Not quite as synchronous as an actual chat, but it is not as asynchronous as an e-mail. i do not use Twitter very often but i think it will be a great tool for education.
