So why should I create a learning environment in Twitter?

Well, that’s one of the advantages of online learning is that participants must not both at the same time present for an event to take place. It’s the same in Twitter.

Send an e-mail has problems with the reliability that people use different computers to remove spam filter real message – in short, do not rely on e-mail …

With Twitter, however, is all on one website (if to remember user name and password) can be displayed anywhere in the world appear.

Thus, a teacher or coach send you a list of books or a reading list for students the week before the event to communicate via twitter and students, and collaborate in real time or time zone.
