Carlene Bouley Module 5 Collaboration Task:  Tweet Chat

Note: Highlighted area is the score.  If not highlighted it

is Not Applicable.

Tweet Chat is a useful tool for students to link with other students, join

groups where students can access information, assistance, and discuss

aspects of what they are learning in class with other students from

across the country and the globe.  The downside to Tweet Chat

is that is is not allowed in our school.  The students would only be able to

access this at home.  I indicated that is has some educational value because

of the nature of the 140 characters can lend to superficial responses thus

limiting the depth of discourse. Also, I put “limited privacy options” because, in

order to properly use Tweet chat for the purposed listed above, one must not

have a private account.  The more people you speak to, the better.
