Reflection on academic uses of twitter

Twitter is beneficial for academic studies and research in three areas. First of all, twitter can be used in course related works. It's easy to follow teachers and classmates who have twitter accounts and send and receive short messages to each other. Same discipline applies to career related works, it's very convenient for communicating between workmates.

Twitter can also be used in academic research. We can follow the subject of our research topic or follow professional people such as scientists or authors. We are able to assess their tweets and pick the good ones for our research topic.

Lastly, we can use hashtag function in twitter to categorize tweets. It helps us distinguish between tweets. We can create group hashtag or own hashtag. It's useful for group discussions in academic studies. By looking at those three benefits of using twitter, I believe that we can use twitter for our future tertiary course studies and career fields.
