miller, s. (2010). Enhance your twitter experience. Learning and leading with technology,
The article from Hadley Ferguson is actually very informative piece. It lays out how to use twitter in a very concise and easy to understand way. Going through the article now and looking back to the class that we went over twitter made it seem a lot easier. Being able to read it as well as do it personally made it a lot less complicated to me. Before this class I didn’t realize you could put the # symbol before the link that you want to add could help actually improve your overall “hits”. The only major problem I have with twitter is that it only gives you 140 characters to actually post something. Which isn’t bad for putting up links but if you want to complete an idea it makes it very difficult to do so.
The second article by Shannon Miller was actually pretty interesting. However, it just reiterated what Hadley Ferguson said in the first article. Although, the main different that I thought was a nice add on was the portion that talked about PLN or Personal Learning Network. The idea behind it actually is intriguing because it allows individuals to learn through a social network instead of you learn by yourself. That is actually a great idea to have on the Internet.
