AdaPeck Can't use Twitter at work! IT dept won't let it in, as with most social media
#meded

we'll come back to. #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:15:03 PDT 2011
DrShock @amcunningham yep during three lectures response about 12 tweets, good
questions #meded but on 450 students not a lot
Thu Jun 2 13:15:04 PDT 2011
nlafferty At Dundee not used twitter in lectures but @dundeejunior is tweeting learning
opportunities to 4th years on clinical attachments #meded

Thu Jun 2 13:15:33 PDT 2011
amcunningham seems pretty good RT @DrShock: yep during three lectures response about

Thu Jun 2 13:15:39 PDT 2011
DrShock @amcunningham stop halfway the lecture and at the end for normal and
twitter questions, using ipad wifi free not a big hassle #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:16:18 PDT 2011
nlafferty @Comedycare Hi good to see another Dundee colleague on the #meded

chat :)
Thu Jun 2 13:16:23 PDT 2011
Comedycare #meded tweeting learning opportunities not yet terribly successful due to poor
uptake
Thu Jun 2 13:16:55 PDT 2011
AdaPeck @LizzzyFerret Yes,smart phones good,still not everyone with them nor using
Twitter. I'm surprised at how few docs and med students do #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:17:14 PDT 2011
amcunningham And do you display the twitter questions that come up during lectures on
screen @DrShock ? #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:17:21 PDT 2011
nlafferty @egosyntonically there's a #meded chat running just now if you're interested

MhairiHepburn @nlafferty if I get this clinical fellow post I will have a campaign for getting
Twitter in lectures! #meded

Thu Jun 2 13:19:12 PDT 2011
LizzyFerret @MhairiHepburn @nlafferty think it could be a cracking idea - if used how

@drshock described #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:19:16 PDT 2011
amcunningham gave permission to ask questions by use of twitter! #meded RT @DrShock:

funny thing is normal live questions increased during the lectures
Thu Jun 2 13:19:26 PDT 2011
DrShock @amcunningham no experience with smsm myself during lectures #meded

Thu Jun 2 13:19:28 PDT 2011
RyanMadanickMD @foxepractice @PhilBaumann told me to contact you about new #meded

chat, starting this evening 9 pm, can u help with transcript ?
Thu Jun 2 13:19:36 PDT 2011
nlafferty @MhairiHepburn New email system will include instant messenger and
potential to use that in lectures too #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:19:44 PDT 2011
LizzyFerret @amcunningham depends where the lecture theatres are - often poor mobile
coverage. #meded
Thu Jun 2 13:19:52 PDT 2011
limn the western has googleCal for updated student teaching opportunites.. as a
student with iPhone it beats typing in 5 weeks timetable. #meded

facilitate concise/to the point Qs I guess.

some students just to shy, #meded
