Use of twitter as a microblogging tool has increased exponentially in the last year or so. Here are some links to the ways in which people are beginning to use twitter in learning and teaching.

In the blog post How we twitter a teacher counts and reflects on a twitter experiment developed in his English class. He provides interesting hints about the pedagogical approach he adopted and a fascinating narrative of how the Twitter use was co-created. As he concludes:
"What made our use of Twitter interesting and a success, I believe, was both the intense sociability associated with it and the fact that for most it did not come easily and so had to be shown by example and use governed by intelligibility and acceptance among peers".
