My Tweetwheel (or “why social networking matters”)
This week at Learning with Computers, Ana Ma. Menezes is helping us all learn about “Microblogging with Twitter“. She’s a great facilitator, and despite my limited availabilities I’ve felt eager to give this issue some minutes… Somebody either in this community or at Webheads in Action had mentioned Tweetwheel, and I gave it a try. You can see the result above (click on the image to see the original page, and hover on any “friend” to see how many friends we have in common). I’m currently following 81 people, mostly EFL teachers, all of them usually twittering about EFL teaching and sharing useful resources. I guess I needn’t explain how this does away with the isolation of traditional f2f teaching in the classroom, and how it maximizes opportunities for professional development with like-minded colleagues!

Hi Glady,
That’s good of you to start this first posting about Tweetwheel. I’ve also given it a try and made some screenshots of it. It really sounds and looks as an amazing tool. Ana Maria has been non-stop hard worker in the net all this time. She’s been exploring so many wonderful resources and tools I am hardly can follow all of them. She is really great!
Take your time and don’t lurk too long, drop by to enjoy these weeks with us.
LOL,

Dear Gladysita,
I loved your wheel of connections showing the nodes of learning we’re part of. Thanks for sharing it.
Besos.
Gladys, this is just way too cool!
What a connected society we are moving around in.
Wouldn’t it be fun to be able to do this with f2f friends too, and then compare? I bet it wouldn’t be nearly as tight knit as this wheel is
Hugs
