- I was also able to demonstrate the potential of Twitter for learning:
- for keeping up to date with colleagues and industry news
- for problem solving
- for serendipitous learning
- for resource and file sharing - and as an example of how partiicipants were quick and willing to contribute to the event, Jon Ingham @joningham quickly shared with us, in a tweet, some pictures he had taken on his iPhone - see the one at the top of this posting of me sitting near the screen, and the one below, which shows a few of the participants in the informal table-less setting (Note: 2 were using laptops and 2 were using phones to tweet)
- for synchronous learning - we were actually doing a form of that ourselves, but I also cited the example of #lrnchat
- for micro-learning - as in my 140university example
- for polling and feedback
- for group tweeting
- as well as alternatives to Twitter in the workplace
