Block head
Posted by: ashleytan on: April 23, 2012
by iluetkeb This ZDnet author thinks that Google+’s best feature is the power to shut fools up. He goes on to describe how to follow only the people you want to hear from and how to block those you don’t. As I read the article, I wondered if blocking on Twitter did not do the same thing. [...]
Teach with Twitter?
Posted by: ashleytan on: April 18, 2012
I love Twitter. I like it more than Facebook. My Facebook account is like a passport that I use to establish who I am and to occasionally get me from one place to another. Twitter is my newspaper, information aggregator, bridge builder, mirror, magnifying glass, loud hailer, and more. So I should be thrilled if [...]
Twitter is six
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 25, 2012
Twitter turned six this week without much fanfare. Six years is a long time in technology life. Twitter has also bought Posterous, an entity that a few years ago was put in the same microblogging category as Twitter. But these platforms are quite different. One is a quick publishing tool, the other is an information [...]
A teacher of…?
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 13, 2012
I have been on Twitter for five years. It very quickly became part of my personal learning network (PLN), or as Richard Byrne would prefer to call it, personal sharing network (PSN). Before I learnt from my PLN, I had a ready answer if anyone asked me what I did. I told them WHAT I [...]

I started by sharing a blog entry by Lisa Lane. I think that the strategy that @audreac has is one way to go. Serendipitously, [...]
Developing my Twidentity selfishly!
Posted by: ashleytan on: March 7, 2012
I had an interesting conversation with a group from the Academy of Singapore Teachers yesterday. The group met me to find out my thoughts on the fuzzy topic of e-learning. As usual, it was an opportunity to consolidate my own beliefs and convictions on e-learning. As usual, I think I learnt as much as I shared. [...]
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 [...]
Heat or light?
Posted by: ashleytan on: January 4, 2012
I follow iWise on Twitter because I like quotable quotes. Here is a tweet from yesterday: Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat.-C.Schoeder #quote iwise.com/HVd5V— iWise (@iwisenet) January 03, 2012 I respond to the light because I do not like jumping in the heat. Unfortunately, responding [...]
