Twitter is rapidly growing as a great research tool, a way to communicate with clients and colleagues, and share knowledge rapidly. Twitter can be used by workplace learning professionals in conducting training as well. This session will show beginners how to get started and set up a Twitter account, but also how to effectively use to communicate with clients, colleagues, and training participants. While mobile devices and smartphones like iphones and Droids have enabled mobile learning, Twitter is becoming more and more a way to communicate informally to get questions answered, and find out what’s happening around you at any time…and to pass it along to colleagues, friends, and business partners. The intended audience is someone who wants to learn more about Twitter and is open to adapting to the latest trends in technology.
