Sooo long since i have blogged about my my EIR.... So sorry !
So today i will blogging about twitter !
So what is twitter?
Based on tweeternet.com, Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers."
In short, twitter allows us to blog about the things happening around us.
How does Twitter enhance my learning in EIR?
Twitter allows me to ask my teacher or fellow students questions about EIR easily as there is not a need to type in formal language and reply on the questions are faster than e-mail due to the consistent update from most of the students. As a result, interaction between teacher and the students would improve tremendously.
By comparing it with my blogging experience using blogspot, i think twitter is the mini version of blogspot as we do not have elaborate about what is happening around us, but summarizing them into the 140 word limit.
For twitter, we can use it as a research purpose by following the users such as CNN , ChannelNewsAsia and etc. These users would tweet about the articles that are happening around the world and some of the articles might be the one we need it for my research . Hence , this shows how twitter can use it as a research purpose.
For BlogSpot , we can use it as a research purpose by reading people' opinions about the topic that we are interested in researching on.
This shows that both twitter and blogspot are useful in research purpose and i really admire the founders of twitter and blogspot ! teeheee
