Twiiter, twitter is a very popular instant messaging system that lets a
person send brief text messages up to 140 characters in length to a
list of followers. Launched in 2006, Twitter was designed as a social
network to keep friends and colleagues informed throughout the day.
However, it became widely used for commercial and political purposes to
keep customers, voters and fans up-to-date as well as to encourage
feedback.
The examination of tweet content shows that students were motivated and engaged with each other. In ways that rarely happen with pre-health professional firstyear students at this institution, students were actively engaged in thoughtful and personally meaningful conversation about themes addressed in the Mountains
Beyond Mountains book. These conversations extended over hours and sometimes days as students would log off Twitter, then back on to find a response to a previous statement and continue the conversation. An examination of tweets about the upper-class student panel showed that students were engaged in asking questions of their peers about academic milestones they expected to need help with.
Our examination of the tweets related to setting up study groups for Chemistry and Biology showed that a group of students were enthusiastic about collaborative learning through study groups. With our encouragement and help, these students set up their first study group for Chemistry. After the first meeting, students independently organized additional study groups. Study group participation grew throughout the semester and expanded beyond Chemistry to other
courses. and the last don't miss it for follow me click here
