Twitter
and Facebook
The
two social networking technologies I chose to analyze are Twitter and Facebook.
I choose these web tools to keep adult learners informed and engaged in adult
education topics. Both social networks are free. Twitter’s URL is https://twitter.com. Twitter is a conversation style
blog. The posts on Twitter are shorter than traditional blogs. Twitter is a
good tool to help keep adult learners informed. An adult educator can start a
blog to post classwork assignments and answer any questions posed by adult
learners about a course.
Facebook’s URL is https://www.facebook.com. Facebook’s purpose is to
provide a marketplace for members to share information. That information can be
a picture, video, or a post. Other members can respond to the post and post
information about their own views to that post. Facebook can enhance adult
education by allowing members to gather in a forum and post relevant
information regarding any topic.
