phone or letter

connecting and learning through networks.
Network of several thousands!

Facebook and Twitter

Not my 1st choice for a professional network
For many colleagues it is their 1st choice
BUT
It is in their comfort zone – also true for students!
BECAUSE
Facebook

Facebook and Twitter
Through Facebook and Twitter we can:
• Discuss ideas and issues
• Seek feedback and reflect on activities
• Share and find resources, links and information
• Ask those “just-in-time” questions for ideas, activities,
resources
• Have real time discussions on “hot topics”
• Meet our students on their own “home” e-ground

networking - Facebook?
Lets find out – time for a quick poll!
