Sorry, but I think Twitter one of the biggest wastes of time on the planet.

Subject : making the most of Twitter for SEDA members

Hello SEDA friends

I know that some of you are really keen Tweeters and follow the weekly sessions on @LTHEChat with Sue Beckingham & Chrissi Nerantzi. Great stuff! Last night’s chat on reflective writing can be viewed at: https://storify.com/LTHEchat/lthechat-33-reflective-writing-spaces

We have decided to set up something similar for staff & PhD students following our SEDA Course – Supporting Learning, and for staff following our UKPSF recognition route for early career academics. We’re trying to demonstrate to new colleagues and research students with a teaching role how Twitter might be used for:

·         Discipline related conversations

·         Setting up new contacts at other universities

·         Sharing research ideas & useful publications

·         Supporting teaching & learning on a module by using a module specific hashtag

·         Finding out about events & conferences

·         Etc!

If anyone’s interested in joining in our discussions, or in letting us know about your own Twitter account, please do tweet us @teachingatuni or #teachingatuni

Many thanks

Bridget
