It was a great opportunity to learn various technologies which might play a significant role in teaching including Twitter! Also by reading two articles, I have learn more details to use Twitter in quality. One of two articles I chose introduces the uses
of the popular micro-blogging tool in the instructional setting. Since that brief
posting, the writer has come across a lot of articles containing
examples and suggestions for using Twitter in instructional
applications. While there’s still going to be some overlap in the concepts
presented in these articles, they clearly meet the goal of providing a thorough
set of ideas and examples for leveraging Twitter in the educational process.
Also the writer provided “6 Examples” from last June’s post to review to learn
more and plan your approach to using Twitter in (and out of) the classroom.
Another article is about a steady stream of
educational Twitter use. It makes sense: Twitter is free, easy to use, and most
high school students are already on it. The writer mentioned some examples of
Twitter functions which might be effective and authentic: Hold Tweet Chats
and Conversations, Elicit Peer Feedback in Real Time, Have Students Tweet in
Character, Involve the Community, Follow News and Issues, and Encourage Group
Work
I agree with two articles and Twitter is
one of the most powerful mediation tool in our society and education as well.
This is because that twitter is an excellent mediator for students to access
learning with various ways available such as enhancing the classroom network
and communication, instant feedback between a teacher and students, positive
washback and so on. Thus, I strongly believe that Twitter is greatly helpful for teachers to develop their professional.

I hope you find it useful for both your future students and your own professional development.
