HW#2: 48 hours Tweeting (topic description)

This homework required the entire class of 33 to use Twitter for at least 48 hours (spanning part of a weekend). And to then to blog about the experience.

There were two readings assigned for this week – as described here. But I did not have the sense (or time) to at least skim them before the Twitter experiment started.

The format of the weekly homework is to post at least ONE blog answering the following questions:
a. What was the most significant thing you learned in class this week?
b. What questions do you have and what do you want to learn more about?
c. What applications do you see to classroom practice based on what you learned?

The idea of blogging as a way of writing a homework paper is really neat. My memories of grad school assignments (almost 20 years ago) was that I wrote something that I thought would impress the professor the most.

With a blog the sense of who my audience is changes considerably, and with that my voice.
The potential of getting insight from other homework blogs too is quite exciting. (Do you do read them before or after the homework submission deadline has past?)
