Critical engagement with Twitter and its potential use in teaching Seminar

In this seminar I will show some potential uses for the microblogging tool Twitter in teaching. Examples are in networking with colleagues, keeping up to date with relevant research and resources for teaching preparation, communication between teachers and students, self-promotion, and endless fun and debates. Apart from affordances I will also cover some less positive points. As any tool, the use of Twitter depends on what you make of it!
