  • Before directing students to use a microblog, instructors should always model optimal use and establish relevance for the students (Dunlap & Lowenthal, 2009)<\/li>\n
  • Instructors should share examples of appropriate ways to engage professional microblogging communities outside the boundaries of the course (Dunlap & Lowenthal, 2009)<\/li>\n
  • Students should be encouraged to share their knowledge, work, and discovered resources (Dunlap & Lowenthal, 2009)<\/li>\n
  • Dedicated course accounts should be setup for each class, which will allow the instructor to track and collate messages (Honeycutt & Herring, 2009)<\/li>\n
  • Students should be encouraged to keep their messages public to ensure transparency (Martin, 2009)<\/li>\n
  • Instructor should demonstrate to students how to stream messages using RSS feeds, which will save time because students will not have to log-in to view messages (Ebner, 2009)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n
