Team 3 collaboratively reviewed Twitter.  In our YouTube video we examined some of the pros and cons of Twitter, in addition to potential uses it may have in education.  We look forward to reading your comments!

I'm standing in a session at ELI where Gardnet Cambell is discussing Twitter use in one of his classes. His experiences mirror much of what Scott and I have experienced and hope to see happen this semester. Makes me realize you should be watching the conference hashtag ... There's just so much flowing through it. Do yourself a favor and follow #eli2010 to peek into this killer event.

We've now gotten all but one of you in a custom Twitter list that you can use to keep track of what is happening with all of us. I used the Twitter List feature to add all of you ... I noticed at least one of you has protected Tweets. Protected Tweets can keep lists from working perfectly, so I'd like to encourage you to potentially open your Twitter updates up while you are in the class. The list is located at:

Also, we need to decide on a hashtag for the semester. A hashtag lets people easily mark a tweet to be about a specific event. A lot of times you'll see tweets that have "something" after it ... that #something is a hashtag. For our course we will use #ci597 as our hashtag. So find the list, start posting, and don't forget the hashtag!

Those of you still trying to figure out what Twitter is should watch the new Twitter video from the folks at Common Craft. Those of you hooked into the "TwitterStream" can leave comments here about why you have gotten engaged -- I know some of you are Twitter people, so let's hear from you!
