Microblogging? What's that all about?

I am so excited to explore Google Apps, learning how to create a Wiki in PBWorks, and figuring out how to bring this excitement back to my NEIU faculty members and instill it in them!


Do you know what microblogging is? This blog isn't micro because I can write as much as I want. Instead, microblogs are much smaller in terms of content. One is Twitter, which most people know about, and Tumblr, which is a newer type of microblogging that allows for more characters and input of multimedia.


How can we use these tools to increase learning in our courses? Do you think they have a place in higher education classrooms?
