Australian researchers on Twitter - self-listing post.

Posted by jason on 8 March 2009

I’ve been thinking that it might be handy to compile a list of Australian academics/researchers who are using Twitter. I’m trying to make a start with this post. If people could add themselves in the comments thread, giving their name, position and username, I’ll compile this information in a repost on this blog. I’ll start.

The motivation for this has to do with putting everyone in touch with each other. The last few posts I’ve done have been about how I’m using Twitter as a teaching and learning tool. Many students are now signed up, and getting to grips with what the service is all about.

I’ve been telling them how many leaders in their field of study can be followed on Twitter, and how many interesting debates happen there, but I don’t think everyone is listed anywhere in one spot. I hope I can provide this for colleagues, students and others here at Gatewatching.
