Exploring Educational Technology

2010-03-09T23:47:14+00:00

Leo Laporte and Kevin Rose "randomly" picked a Twitter account to see how many people they could get to follow it. They chose @LisaTickledPink. She went from <10 to ~13,000 followers in two days. She joined Twitter as part of an education technology class. This is that class. If ETT could swing it, it would be neat to get her instructor on a show for comment and feedback about the phenomenon.
