Twitter helps develop skills of 21st century writers: Study
Microblogging site Twitter has equipped 21st century writers with the necessary skills, including tough self-editing, to thrive in the face of emerging technologies, according to a recent study.
London: Microblogging site Twitter has equipped 21st century writers with the necessary skills, including tough self-editing, to thrive in the face of emerging technologies, according to a recent study.
To test if there was any value in introducing Twitter to the creative writing classroom, Josie Barnard of Middlesex University conducted an experiment to determine whether the microblogging website can help students develop creative writing skills in the classroom and in what way. "The learning experiences were exciting to see.
The exercises helped students develop a new rigour. Tough self-editing is needed to pare a narrative right back. The exercises also helped with writer's block, providing fresh stimulation that aided students' creativity," Barnard said.
