So far in my life and work social media promises more than it delivers. I can see the linking, sharing and thinking potential of online forums and tools, but I haven’t made them ‘work’ for me yet. Discussion forums un-discussed, tweets un-followed and Facebook stalking are my current level of engagement. Despite trying ‘tweet deck’ I still can’t find interesting things on Twitter. I can’t get my students to bother answering my discussion forum questions or comment on each other’s work unless they get marks. I have had some luck using apps as data gathering tools and I enjoy using back channel apps when I’m teaching. I’m looking forward to realising the potential of these resources through this course.
