Twitter during lectures
Posted by: ashleytan on: April 13, 2009
The Chronicle of Higher Education reported how a professor encouraged his students to contribute to his ‘live’ classes via Twitter.
It did not work at first, but after a few weeks, they started
floating ideas or posting links to related materials… in some cases, a shy student would type an observation or question on Twitter, and others [...]
Educational Web 2.0 in the news
Posted by: ashleytan on: April 7, 2009
Like last semester, I wondered if I should maintain this blog between semesters. Also like the last semester, I have decided to do so, but perhaps less frequently. I will probably tweet (microblog) more.
Yesterday I found two articles:
Web 2.0 Classrooms Versus Learning?

Why “versus” in the title? In the context of that Chronicle piece, professors saw [...]
Tweet twits?
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 25, 2009
Twittering is stupid… but only if you answer Twitter’s question: What are you doing?
If that is all you do, then this YouTube video applies to you.

But if you use your noggin, you’ll first realise what the people behind the video are trying to say. You’ll also find, as I have, Twitter [...]
Sweet tweets

Tweets are sweet!
Using Twitter, I started following the thoughts of Tom Barrett, a teacher in Nottingham, England, after a recommendation from Mr Tweet.
From his tweets, I found a shared Google presentation on “18 Interesting Ways to Use Twitter in the Classroom“!
Twitblogs
Posted by: ashleytan on: December 22, 2008
Twitblogs sounds like an insult, doesn’t it? It is actually a service that allows you to go beyond the 140-character limit of Twitter… if you need to. According to their Web site, you already have a Twitblog account if you have a Twitter account!
But I am not sure what to think about this service. Twitter [...]
TweetDeck

I just discovered TweekDeck after reading a blog entry by Beth.
TweetDeck is a great way of finding tweets that are relevant to me. It is also an excellent tool for organising the buzzing, blooming confusion that tweets are!
Get $10 credit from Edublogs
Posted by: ashleytan on: October 15, 2008
If you were affected by the Edublogs recent outages, you can get $10 credited to your account.
Here is the tweet I received on Oct 10:
Please email support@edublogs.org for a $10 credit for each user by means of an apology. Just let us know your username.
This is not a prank or a ruse. The $10 can [...]
Twitter connection
Posted by: ashleytan on: October 6, 2008
A teacher in Nottingham, UK, started following my Tweets so I looked up his profile on Twitter.
Amidst all the chatter was an interesting link to three Flickr photos of his classroom. His students were using Voicethread, a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to annotate photos with text or voice.
I noticed that he did not [...]
