Welcome everyone, thank them for coming…
Given our busy schedules why consider the use of weblogs, wiki or collective efforts, social media and twitter?
Well, one reason is the fact that many scholars, students, and interested others are using social media. Although not always for the same reason…
Conversations about social media – facebook, twitter, googlewave (well, maybe not gWave) have become important topics to businesses. Business and marketing efforts are using twitter far more effectively than educational leaders at present.
Can twitter help us become more effective educators and administrators?
Twitter in Higher Education 2010: Usage Habits and Trends of Today’s College Faculty (report from September 2010)
The 2010 Faculty Focus report represents the second annual survey on Twitter usage and trends among college faculty. This year’s survey, like that conducted in 2009, sought answers to some of the fundamental questions regarding faculty members’ familiarity, perception, and experience with the micro-blogging technology, as well as whether they expect their Twitter use to increase or decrease in the future.
Of those who currently use Twitter, the most common activities include “to share information with peers” and “as a real-time news source.” Instructional uses, such as “to communicate with students” and “as a learning tool in the classroom” are less popular, although both activities saw increases over the previous year. Meanwhile, a number of non-users expressed concerns that Twitter creates poor writing skills and could be yet another classroom distraction. Many also noted that very few of their students use Twitter. Finally, a new trend that emerged this year centered on the belief that many feel they already have too many places to post messages or check for student questions/comments. As one professor put it, “I have no interest in adding yet another communication tool to my overloaded life.”

Helpful applications to make twitter useful for you. The growth of Twitter has also spawned a number of third-party applications developed to help users manage their Twitter activity. Some of the more popular ones are TweetDeck, HootSuite, and Seesmic. For shortening URL’s, critical given the limited character count for each tweet, bit.ly and tiny URL are commonly used.
What policies, rules, and limits to you want to set in your use of twitter or any form of social media!
In the end, as with any tool – the utility of twitter (and by extension any social media) depends on how it is used.
