Reflection on the TwitterChat:

For the TwitterChat held a few days ago, I think Twitter provided us with a free platform to exchange and share our ideas and thoughts. During the process of learning, discussion as well as mind collision is very necessary. TwitterChat can promote us to think deeply about what we’ve learned in this course and eventually summarize out our own learning by combining our own knowledge with others’ opinions and thoughts. 

In addition, by participating in the TwitterChat, I corrected many of my previous misconceptions about open learning and distributed learning and learn something new about online and open learning. At the very beginning, all of the members of our team had wrong understanding of these two concepts, until we received feedback from the email of the teacher and were helped by other classmates by chatting with them in Twitter. 

Furthermore, through the process of sharing the resources and ideas to support the online & open learning, it was a great way for us to express our own thoughts freely and learn from others’ opinions since the discussion was held online on a public platform and the resources could be accessed by all of us. 

As far as I am concerned, another advantages of TwitterChat is that we could get instant feedback from others. Imagine that tens of people were engaged in the discussion, as long as you post a question about the topic, it is possible for you to get instant feedbacks from others in the chatting group instantaneously.

All in all, TwitterChat was a helpful platform for me to discuss with many people on social media and a meaningful tool for me to get tips and information.
