    Ping, I think this will come in very hand in the near future. I only recall doing one literature review in my academic career and it's a faded memory. This appears to be a concise base of instructions on how, why and what a literature review is. I have a database of all the work I performed in my previous grad program and surprisingly there is not one source on this topic, other than the review I did for a section of a capstone proposal.

    A very helpful resource that I have saved for future reference.

    I think this is a great resource for both the teacher and the student. Literature reviews are a great way for students to show their understanding of a reading. I have heard of similar tasks for literature reviews, but this is a great for students to share.

  • We’ve theorized before that learning through social networks is the future. 
  • Use twitter’s search bar–search for your what you’re interested in learning more about. This isn’t as staright-forward as a Google search, for example, but you’ll get a better sense of the kinds of information people are sharing.
  • Know your hashtags. They’re a valuable tool to use to follow and participate in conversations on certain topics and themed twitter chats.

    I use Twitter for my own personal and professional use, but I need to do a better job of using it with my students. The article suggested having students tweet their thesis statement in writing class, which gave me some ideas to use in my classroom. I also liked the idea of having students participate in tweetchats with experts and professionals in the field.

    Sarah, I've been trying to use Twitter more for professional use. I think it's a great way to share resources. My biggest concern is that my students may be too young to use Twitter, but I do have parents that follow me. I once did a field experience with the Technology Teacher of the Year in 2012, and he tweeted out multiple times a day! He would take pictures of students "in action" and tweet it out to let the parents know what was going on in class. He also tweets out many resources to parents so that they can get more involved in their child's education. The student's even took pictures on the iPad and tweeted them out (and have I mentioned that these are 3rd GRADERS?!) I have never seen Twitter used in such a wonderful way! These students had technology in their hands every single day and were completely engaged. It was fascinating and inspiring. Amanda

    Sarah, Thank you for sharing this article. Twitter exploded last year in my district, especially at the high school, as a form of communication for everyone. The middle school, where I am primilary at, is slowly catching on. However, I LOVE Twitter as a professional resource. I think it is like a social bookmarker. I can share the websites, and then go back when I have time to explore them more. I agree this can be used in my library to be an effective communication tool for both students and staff. I believe this resource can be used for both students and staff, but they have different purposes. As a professional, using hashtags can be very benefical to find information. It can also be a great way to network, using the Twitter Chats that go on all around the United States and the world. Students can use this to communicate. For example, the students wanted to have a blue out in honor of a student who has cancer at the football game last night. They asked the opposing team to join them in wearing blue to honor a young man who is fighting for his life. They did, and they donated an additional $425 because they found that information on Twitter! I am not aware of other resources that do that same thing. I believe Twitter is unique with their limit of 140 characters and the strong hashtag movement they begun all throughout the internet world.

    Emma, are you in Clinton? I heard about the "blue out"! I like to use Twitter for mainly professional use, but that varies from anywhere between retweeting professional articles to reminding the study body to buy their yearbooks. I try to throw in some personal stuff every now and again just to show that their teacher is an actual human, too. :)
