I figured I'll let my readers in on my experiences with the world of Twitter. As part of my ITEC 544 Training Systems course, we had to create a Twitter account and follow people in the Tech and E-Learning professions in order to be exposed to some of their knowledge and the advantages of Twitter. The Twitter posts could also be a useful source for these blog posts. Of course I already had a Twitter account, but I created another one for the course. I say this to let you guys know that I already had experience with Twitter and was aware of its advantages.
So did I get anything out of this exercise, you ask. Hmm, let's see... Yes, I did. Initially, I really didn't see the big deal of E-Learning. No, I take that back. I do see the importance in it, I just didn't realize that it garnered as much attention as it does. I'm following so many people in that profession that I didn't realize existed. Dr. Keane (the professor of this course) frequently retweets posts from other professionals that are mostly pretty interesting. I also use this Twitter account to follow more tech folks than what I follow on my first Twitter account. Great source for the latest tech news. Also faster access to tech news because I have the Twitter app on all my mobile devices.
Now let me visit that Twitter account and see if I can find some material for my next blog post.
Until next time...
