Teenagers tweet
Posted by: ashleytan on: February 2, 2012
One of the disadvantages of having a Twitter handle like mine (@ashley) is that I get mistaken for any and all Ashleys in the Twitterverse. I cannot tell you exactly how many people I have to filter out in my Twitter mentions column every day! Yesterday was an exceptional day because an Ashley in Twitter [...]
Misdirected tweets
Posted by: ashleytan on: July 31, 2011
I’ve mentioned before that I cull my list of Twitter followers because my handle, @ashley, is mistaken for someone else’s. In hindsight it was my mistake as an early Twitter adopter to take that user name. Everyday I get lots of misdirected tweets and replies from people I do not know. Many are teenagers in [...]
X-ing with a tweet
Posted by: ashleytan on: July 18, 2011
Video source Paying with a tweet. It’s an interesting concept that’s been implemented on a smallish scale. I wonder if it will really take flight. In the meantime, I am contented with teaching with a tweet and learning from a tweet.

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, [...]
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? http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/3698/web-20-classrooms-versus-learning Why “versus” in the title? In the context of that [...]
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 to be [...]
Sweet tweets
Posted by: ashleytan on: February 14, 2009
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. [...]
