38. What is Twitter for Me (MVP) Alternate way of knowing my students I use it as additional medium of student announcements & feedback. I test an idea, think aloud, get response from students or strangers. It’s a good place to share constructive ideas and meet bright minds. It ‘s a hub of prudence and kind online behavior. It’s a pitstop of sharing fun, good food, even bad days. It’s a channel where I hear students’ irrational thoughts, have a better understanding of them. It’s a place where people share things they are passionate about, so amazing & admirable!

39. So what’s the point in all of these??

40. Greater benefits to teaching Availability of various modes of communication Extended communication with the students Wider choices of cloud tools More learning support tools—visual, text, multi & transmedia Presence of more experts Opportunities of cross-exchange of intercultural knowledge and practices Creates a subculture of sharing & participation

41. And Hogskolan vast is on the right track of Technology stewardship Tack så mycket. Bra dag för alla!
