After reading two articles (1, 2) I have come up with some valuable potential for microblogging in the classroom and in education in general. One main value I see with microblogging is the ability to network together with other instructors gain new and helpful ways of instructing. Another valuable way of using this tool of microblogging is to create a environment where students are able to be individuals and have the ability to share their personalities with the other students. In the same way instructors can network other instructors they can also network the students in class to a social group setting. This grouping allows for interaction between students and the sharing of personalities along with information. While this is ongoing it is at the same time being safely monitored by an instructor.
