This is another post about an interesting recommended article I read, this time it was Top Tools for Learning 2011. What I found very interesting about this list, was that the number 1 Top Tool for Learning according to the Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies, was Twitter. Oh and by the way, it wasn't just number 1 for the year 2011, but also the year before, and the year before.

 
 Now, I have a Twitter account, and have had one for quite some time now. I could not understand how it could possibly be the Top Tool for Learning. I immediately headed to Google to find out how this could be done and was greeted with a ridiculous number of hits.

I found this website, 100 Ways to Use Twitter in Education that explained the different ways teachers could use Twitter. Examples included ways to communicate between the teacher and other students as part of study, different features of Twitter that can be useful, as well as integrating Twitter into your assignments and tasks. 

 As a bit of a Twitter veteran, i'm genuinely dumbfounded that I didn't even think of these things myself. Evidently this is another great example of sharing ideas.
