More appropriate for younger learners? Few older learners will access Pinterest/instagram/twitter etc, though maybe we should encourage them to?
Useful information about hashtags and using them
It was very helpful, I do not use twitter etc and it would be great to join the various groups/chat mentioned in this module.
Very useful and informative....
An informative module as I haven't used Hashtags and wasn't aware how they could be useful in education.
Factual module not an area that I have currently explored.
I haven't really used hashtags before and this explains how they can be used in teaching.
Will support learners with correct usage.
Nothing in here I didn't know already, but I can see it being a really great primer for people who aren't quite as digitally confident as I am. This left me thinking about getting back to Instagram!
Good overview of the use of hashtags.
Have never thought of using these as part of any online/digital learning. Makes sense after working through this!
Handy reminder.
Not sure how useful this would be with my groups.
Some might be sceptical on the use of hashtagging in general, especially for teaching and learning use...but give it a try and you'll be pleasantly surprised is my bet! #EdTech
I completely understand the use of hashtags know
Good basic information on #
Quick and easy to complete, gives a good overview in creating hashtags and why
A good, basic introduction to the use of hashtags
Good
