Microblogging: A Spiders Web

This week I read two articles about microblogging. The two articles both discussed mircoblogging but using two different ways. The first article about microblogging used a tool called micromobs. The second article used a tool called edmodo tutorial. Both of these articles/videos gave me a better idea of how I could use microblogging in my classroom. All these tools similarly remind me of facebook, or even voicethread, I think microblogging could be used in the same way in the classroom as a voicethread. Here students could share their thoughts and reactions to a topic. Microblogging could also be a way to get information to students, such as if you wanted them to read a post of a professional in a certain field the students could follow that professional and learn from them.

Professionally this could be used to stay current with different educators in the field. You could stay connected with your own staff through microblogging or educators all around the world. Microblogging is a way to create a web, to stay attached and connected to others in the field of education.
