Abstract

Educators around the world are utilizing Twitter as a personal
learning environment, but how else can microblogging be used in
education? From K12 to Higher Education, we will present the
possibilities of Twitter and alternative tools in both instructional
and student support contexts. We’ll share examples of how elementary,
secondary and higher education faculty and institutions are using
microblogging to augment communication in thoughtful ways, but we
won’t stop there. Social media tools like this require important
safety and security considerations as well as outcomes based planning.
Join us and identify issues and strategies you’ll need to know about
Twitter for educational purposes.
