APPLICATION OF SOCIAL NETWORKING AS A REFLECTIVE LEARNING AND CRITICAL THINKING TOOL

摘要

The presentation examines the use of Twitter, a social networking tool, in a graduate level online class to support reflective learning and critical thinking. It describes a study in which students participated in a weekly learning activity in which they would share their reflections from the course through the use of Twitter messages and demonstrate critical thinking. A survey was conducted to capture student reactions to the use of this social networking media for these purposes.
