Hi Michelle
I put it on Slideshare this morning: http://www.slideshare.net/drbexl/twitter-for-p-g-c-l-t-h-e, so see what you make of that. We used it within the PGCLTHE session, so looking for ways of using it in learning & teaching, but as we discu…
I'd love to hear more about your presentation, Bex. I've actually been a little disenchanted with using Twitter this semester and am not sure I will keep it up in the long run. I'm looking for someone to convince me that it's worthwhile!
Really interesting, thanks. Giving a short presentation tomorrow about possibilities for using Twitter in education - I have a lot of experience of using it personally, but now looking to translate that into the classroom!
I like this idea, Dallas! Thanks for sharing it. I'll definitely share this with my students. I'm a bit newer to Twitter than I am to Facebook, so I'm still learning a bit about the best way to use it.
Do you think I need to join Facebook's Anonymous, Isabelle? : )

Hi! I just got an e-mail about the upcoming seminar on July 7th, and I'm very interested in this topic! I teach online statistics courses at the University of Minnesota, and I've been thinking a lot lately about ways to incorporate social media. Unf…
Facebook has a group called 6 degrees of separation: The Experiment. Members are invited to participate in an activity that demonstrates the principle of the title of the group.

You can try incorporating activities such as these in your instruction, making it fun for your students while demonstrating the mathematical principles behind the activities. You can create a closed group for your students, invite them to share their favorite ap or activity on fb, and explain how these apply to the current content that they are learning in your course...or ask them to theoretically create their own ap or activity that they think will be interesting.
