INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Micro-Blogging is one of the most common ways worldwide to express ourselves. And
it even makes it more interesting when you realize you can use micro-blog websites as
a tool for most important purposes,
such as education!
Introduction
These slides are to point out some advantages of using micro-blogging in education
and how it can be an effective way in teaching.
Introduction
To start, let’s have a review over the definitions of
Blogging and Micro-Blogging, and the philosophy behind them.
BLOGGING
and
MICRO-BLOGGING
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What is a blog?
 A blog is an online platform, provided by a used blog host (such as wordpress.com
and blogger.com), in where you can publish a journal or a diary.
 There is no character limitation in
this personal space you have online
and you are free to use it to post any
idea and opinion, using text, photos,
videos, links, hyperlinks, etc.
 You can design the page as you want
and control the way your visitors see
it, the comments, and subscriptions.
 Some blogging sites give you the
possibility to add plug-ins as well.
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What is a blog?
 We have Micro-Blogging (or Nano-Blogging) websites on the other hand. Websites
such as facebook.com and twitter.com provide you a personal space to post
whatever content you are willing to but with character limitation which is usually
140 per post. You can choose who you want your posts to be seen by. People can
like, comment, and sometimes share your posts if you give them the access.
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What is a Micro-Blog?
How are Blogging and Micro-
Blogging different from one
another?
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What are the differences?
1. While microblogging, you face
limitations of characters while there is no
such limitation in blogging.
2. There might be huge differences
between your writing styles and how you
impress your audience in each of the two
ways.
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What are the differences?
3. In micro-blogging websites we get
updates minute by minute or even every
few seconds, while in a blog, we get the
update whenever the author posts a new
content.
4. Micro-blogging sites are much more
active, as a blog may take long to be seen
by other people depending on the
content the admin shares.
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What are the differences?
5. The main purpose of micro-blogging is
to keep your audience and friends
updated with your daily activities and
what you post, while a blogging website is
not meant to do that.
Blogging and Micro-Blogging
What are the differences?
MICRO-BLOGGING
and
TEACHING
With the vast use of Internet these days, education can happen in more technology-
based and interactive ways by the use of online platforms.
Although blogging can have an effective role,
micro-blogging can be even more useful and advantageous.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Using micro-blogging websites in teaching can have many plus points, such as:
 The opportunity to provide and create a variety of interesting activities,
 The possibility of collaboration and interaction between individuals,
 Monitoring the process of learning and understanding,
 Keeping an archive of the needed materials,
 Giving the students access to download the provided files.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Communication
You can create a community for your students to join, so you can follow a shared
purpose by exchanging specific information and sharing ideas and opinions on
different topics.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Collaboration
Students and teachers can be easily in touch with each other and even invite other
people to join them in different discussions by sharing a particular post and using
hashtags on it.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Opinion Polls
If you want to assess or simply find out about your students’ opinions, you can give
them questions with multiple choices or short answers.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Participation
As we all know, some students are too shy to express themselves in face-to-face
sessions. This can be a great opportunity for them to participate in discussions and
collaborate with others and increase their confidence.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
Easy-to-Find Contents
By using tags, you can give others the opportunity to search for the content and get
good results whenever.
Micro-Blogging and Teaching
One of the most important factors in education that affects one’s progress, is
motivation. In today’s world, we can make advanced changes in the way students see
learning by using creative, popular, and straightforward techniques for them to learn
and practice.
