Keeping Connected with Edmodo, Twitter & Yammer
Microblogging in Education

presented by
yours truly (Holly Rae Bemis-Schurtz) and Cynthia S. Medina

What is this Twitter everyone's talking about? How does this pertain to me as an educator? Microblogging is here to stay, but there's no doubt it can seem strange at first. This new form of communication uses status updates to broadcast and receive information across a learning network. A microblogging community can be everything from a source of breaking information to a virtual water cooler or an 'unconference' with people around the world. Whether you want to use a microblog as a personal learning environment for yourself, with your colleagues, or even with your students, we've got the tools for you. 'Follow' us to learn about these free microblogging tools: Twitter, Yammer and Edmodo.
