Title of presentation:
How serious are Twitter Tweets?

Description of presentation:
The presenter was first introduced to microblogging on Twitter a year ago and was unenthusiastic about becoming an active Tweeter till very recently. She was not the kind of person to post every single thought on her mind whether it is her personal feeling, latest search finding or latest activity. She also felt overwhelmed by the avalanche of tweets coming from others she was following. She had a hard time managing this information overload and would not visit her page for weeks. Now she has become familiar with efficient ways to follow and post tweets on a regular basis.

This presentation explores the value of microblogging in making online learners/teachers better-connected to communities of practice. Practical uses for microblogging in enhancing communication will be discussed. Techniques for better management of reading and posting tweets will be shown. Success stories related to microblogging will be shared.
