Activity 2: Using Twitter
One of the technologies used to share learning and engage with the wider educational community is Twitter. Short messages can be written (maximum 280 characters) and shared easily. If you have a Twitter account use that. If you don’t yet have one, it’s free and very straightforward to set up. After creating your twitter account, compose a tweet (of no more than 140 characters) in which you write about what you are looking forward to as an online learner. Tweet your message to @VVOBrwanda, @VVOBvzw, @REBRwanda, and @Rwanda_Edu using this hashtag: #ready4elearning.
You may also follow us and tweet to us @Nkbe1 and @rietpoos so that you easily share with us your learning progress. We will like and retweet your interesting tweets.
Congratulations – you can now participate in twitter-mediated exchange with anyone from all over the world.
