In a previous post on the CIT blog, we looked at the “micro blogging” and social networking tool, Twitter.  The service has become quite popular as a way to keep friends and colleagues updated on links to news, short tips about the local community, and even just what someone may be thinking about or researching at a particular time.

Academhack, a blog by David Perry, has a new post that lists some quick ideas on using Twitter in an academic setting to keep up with the work of colleagues and to discover how students in your courses are going about their research or problems areas they’re running into as they progress to your course.

Perry’s post is titled “Who I Follow in Twitter“.  You can also see his current Twitter feed and read who he’s following.
