               2010:Usage Habits and Trends of
                       Today’s College?


                How familiar are you with Twitter




http://www.facultyfocus.com/free-reports/twitter-in-higher-education-2010-usage-habits-and-trends-of-todays-college-faculty/
…as a networking and professional
         development tool

Twitter has been a tremendously useful tool for me in connecting with other
professors, discovering new sources and new information, teaching students
about some of the dynamics of not just Twitter but real-time information
sharing, and for building and continuing relationships made in real life.

It's great to be able to send a quick thought to everyone & receive reactions
and connect with so many people at once--family, friends, and friends-to-be.

I've reached more people and have had more exposure as an academic
tweeting and blogging about higher ed than I have ever with my more
tradition research and publishing.

  • 15. …as a networking and professional development tool Twitter has been a tremendously useful tool for me in connecting with other professors, discovering new sources and new information, teaching students about some of the dynamics of not just Twitter but real-time information sharing, and for building and continuing relationships made in real life. It's great to be able to send a quick thought to everyone & receive reactions and connect with so many people at once--family, friends, and friends-to-be. I've reached more people and have had more exposure as an academic tweeting and blogging about higher ed than I have ever with my more tradition research and publishing.
