My Twines

I joined Twine more than a year ago, but I didn’t get around to exploring it until this week.  I’ve joined the following twines, “interest networks”:

• 2.0 World
• Educational Technology
• learning_with_web2.0
• Online Education
• Search
• Search and Discovery
• Social Media
• Star Trek
• Twitter Guide

I subscribed to RSS feeds for all of them and tried out the bookmarklet, which doesn’t seem to allow the user to specify which twine to add the item to.

I can see how Twine could be useful for my second-semester composition students.  They could find or create twines related to their research topics.

My Ning Social Networks

I belong to the following Ning social networks that are related to my work (in addition to the one I use for my ENG 131 class at Red Rocks):

• NCTE Ning (National Council of Teachers of English)
• Sloan-C SL-NET (Second Life – Networking Education and Technology)
• Ning in Education
• College 2.0
• eTools and Tips for Educators
• RezEd
• Renaissance Island of Second Life
• RREADS (Red Rocks English ADjunctS)

I hadn’t realized there were so many.  I haven’t been active in any of them lately, but I hope to remedy that this summer.
