I use Twitter @eLearningMC as an informal learning and bookmarking tool. I read articles, find tutorials, and discover avenues of expert advice in my field through Twitter. I have recently started implementing into my Tweets are hashtags, a feature which allows your tweets to be categorized under searchable keywords and topics.
I've been observing which hashtags are frequently and consistently used in the field of eLearning, and want to share them with you:
#eLearning
#mLearning
#edtech
#instructionaldesign
#onlinelearning
#UX User Experience
#GBL Game Based Learning
Twitter chats are another way hashtags are used to categorize tweets. A few relevant eLearning chats include: #lrnchat and #edchat. There is also a monthly #LCBQ, Learning Circuits Big Question. A comprehansive list of Twitter chats with topics ranging from hobbies to careers can be found in this Google Doc titled Twitter Chat Schedule. Happy tweeting, hashtagging, discovering, and chatting!
