A number of students follow me & I sometimes go in to look at their tweets - it makes interesting reading!!! I've posted about this in the forum on the Ning - How out of touch with students are we?

I saw that you also left an announcement for a conference you are involved in (http://www.learningtechnologies.com.au/index.cfm?action=papers). It would be interesting to see how Twitter could be used as a communication tool in an e-learning program, to remind learners about due dates, etc. You could even go as far as creating a Twitter account which acts as the centrepiece of the program, linking to the resources and learning activities of the course. Oh, ning, I need to go back there. I've been a bit busy with assignments and it went on the backburner, along with Facebook and all those other things :) Thanks for the comment Jess Carol

However, there are a lot of people using it to exchange thoughts, ideas & resources. Most of the people I follow regularly post great resources & I do the same. Check it out at http://twitter.com/caroldaunt PS: I've posted to you on the LTUG Ning also. Cheers Carol Jess
