Microblogging is useful in online courses. Never considered that.
Instructors should "chunk" content in a class to more efficiently get information to students.
incorporate microblogging.
Micro-blogging could be a good alternative to the traditional discussions used in my accounting classes. It might motivate those who typically choose not to post, to try it. Conciseness in communication is a useful skill we all could improve on.
I will always remind myself that "ACTIVITIES THAT WORK IN ONE COURSE MAY NOT WORK IN ANOTHER COURSE. THIS IS DEPENDENT ON THE COURSE CONTENT, LEARNING OUTCOMES, CLASS CULTURE AND PURPOSE OF USING SOCIAL MEDIA."
This module on microblogging has profoundly enhanced my understanding of how social media, particularly microblogging platforms like Tumblr and Twitter, can significantly influence the dynamics of online education. Microblogging serves not only as a tool for quick information dissemination but also as a robust medium for fostering interaction and collaborative learning among students. It is particularly striking how microblogs can be tailored to support educational objectives by facilitating succinct communication and encouraging the sharing of ideas in real time, which can enhance the learning experience by making it more dynamic and immediate.
In applying these insights, I intend to integrate microblogging more actively into my teaching strategies, especially in online settings where engagement can sometimes be challenging to stimulate. I can create a more engaging and interactive learning environment by leveraging microblogs for threaded discussions and real-time updates. This approach will allow students to consume content and participate actively in its creation and dissemination. Additionally, the ability to share links, hashtags, and concise posts can make learning more accessible and enjoyable, encouraging students to explore topics more deeply and to connect with content on multiple levels. This integration of microblogging will also be instrumental in cultivating a classroom dynamic that values quick thinking and prompt responses, skills that are increasingly valuable in today's fast-paced digital world.

I had no idea microblogging was becoming so popular! It's a great resource for students to interact with others!
Microblogging usually has a character limitation that should be understood.
Today I learned there is a limit on the length of micro-blogging. Text type entries will be used to create a complete and concise post.
My interest is piqued and I am looking forward to learning more about this subject.
Microblogging is a very useful resourse for online teaching.
Microblogging can be used to bridge generation gaps.
This course has broadened my perspective on effectively communicating with students. Creating new connections with the material is enhanced by microblogging. I like the fact that the characters are limited forcing students to be concise in their responses. Engaging this tool in the academic space provides "good brain memory" behavior in personal use. I am excited to explore this space with my students.
Microblogging is useful, but on the cross cultural environment, I feel you have to evaluate the student body to make it work. Shortening phrases can lead to misinterpretations and possible cultural insults.
Microblogging can help students be more concise with their responses.
There are a lot more creative ways to incorporate microblogging than I initially thought. Following trends and reviewing their trends can be really beneficial to use when teaching certificate courses in specific niches.
Microblogging needs to have well structured guidelines to fit the purpose of why it is being incorporated as supplement learning. If following, must be professional organizations related to nursing.
I can think of multiple ways that I could use Twitter to enhance the classroom. Asking students to follow a Twitter account that I post course content and reminders to is one. Requiring students to post replies to a Twitter account that makes posts appropriate to course content is another.
Microblogging is a new concept for me. I find this can be very helpful/useful in establishing how students can engage in coursework material without feeling so frustrated.
I was completely unaware of microblogging. I feel that, in the right situation, this could be a useful tool for student to student and others to interact.
