00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:01,800
Interviewer: How did you get on Twitter?

2
00:00:01,940 --> 00:00:04,700
Daisy: I got on it-- I think I kind of kept hearing about it,

3
00:00:04,820 --> 00:00:07,340
and I got on it last January after MLA,

4
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:09,100
which I'm wondering had I been

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,260
tweeting while I was going to my

6
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,580
interviews, what would have happened, but I

7
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,640
got on it, and I think I just started

8
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,100
following a lot of the people that I

9
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:20,620
know who are techie, like Howard

10
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:22,220
Rheingold, and then all these people who

11
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:24,779
I really like their work, and I do find

12
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:27,600
there's a much more immediate reply when

13
00:00:27,689 --> 00:00:29,500
you ask people a question. So now I have

14
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,540
Howard commenting on my blog, and he did a whole thing

15
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,480
about laptop campuses and the view he has,

16
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,040
that he looks out at his students, and how,  are

17
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:39,980
they really paying attention? And that's

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,500
something that I've started to look at

19
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:42,740
what my own teaching, because you do have

20
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,460
to say, "Laptops down," Cindy: Oh my gosh! Daisy: And even when you do,

21
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,500
they'll keep it halfway open and you can

22
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,420
see the little bouncing icon that they got an email,

23
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:52,640
so they want to write back immediately.

24
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,000
So yeah, it's been interesting.
