Where am I in the #ExtendmOOC Conversation?

Reflecting on my Twitter experience throughout this mOOC, I’ve found I’ve grown my network and connected with several new folks through #ExtendmOOC. This has really helped me to find new ways of using Twitter as well as reinforcing the existing reasons why I love Twitter.

So I’m going to hijack this Daily #oext323 #oextend with a bit of a different course:

Why do I enjoy using Twitter for education?

Let me count thee ways:

Meet new folks

Read other people’s blogs

Dave, I love this. Thanks for sharing. I’m following this closely. We have to first take an individual approach to a pro-social web using critical thinking. I am optimistic that humans have this capacity in them to build a better internet. https://t.co/jSXIi5Ku5r

Bounce ideas and suggestions

Looking for suggestions on how to best develop a CV/personal learning map. I need to better track my learning and PD so I can see where the gaps are. What do others use?

Google Slides now has LIVE CLOSED CAPTIONS! Wow, this is a game changer on so many levels. Kudos to @googleaccess team for making technology more accessible. I’m actually in shock right now it’s such an amazing feature. Now how can we get these downloaded into a text file?
