Twitter

For the latest updates including the newest Daily Opener activities, follow @muraludg in twitter.

Engage in discussion, share ideas and resources, and ask questions to our community by including #muraludg

in your tweets. We use the open technology tool Twitter TAGs developed by Martin Hawksey to archive, summarize, and even visualize this activity. It runs from a Google Spreadsheet, and this is a tool you can use for your own courses and projects.

One powerful part of the tool is it generates a real time visualization of the activity and connections among people tweeting with the #muraludg tag:

This will grow and get more complex in time. We have a new tool that makes it easy to find you or anyone else within this network, simply by entering their twitter name (without the @) below.
