Benefits of Microblogging Activities

Leti , You and I are kindred spirits! I agree with you. I teach a technical writing class and the wordiness is so frustrating. I actually use a book called fat free writing! Twitter does help. Also, look at todaysmeet.com. It is backchanneling and it can be used similarly. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Educational Media Hosting and Sharing Sites

Leti , It is really very nice. We don't have to use the videos, have the students do it. I saw a presentation where an economics professor has the students create a video to describe economic terms. It was so good and the students learned! Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
