What I've Learned About Twitter

As one of the assignments for Online Course Design, I and my classmates are required to use Twitter. This week the Tweme (theme) is synchronous learning or simple augmented reality.

I've been doing some research on synchronous learning tools and found two excellent articles written by Stefan Hrastinski. I decided to see if he has a Twitter presence. Indeed he does, except he tweets in his native language: Swedish. While looking at Twitter tools, I discovered a built-in translator: key combo ALT+enter+O

It works! Now I can read his tweets!!

Another thing--did you know there is a service that ranks Twitter users' reputations? Take a look at Trst.me
