Love this :)

Great example of using modern methods in education and psychology. If the 'young generation' are so hooked on technology, become their true selves online, and tweet and re-tweet what they really want to say - why not exploit that to the benefit of educational and scientific progression?

Dr Maria Kontogianni is a lecturer in psychology at the Nottingham Trent University - she has a particular interest in using social media to engage her students - exploring the psychology of teaching psychology :)

And how did I hear about it? A new email arrived in my online inbox, a link to the BPS's online research digest, which had links to various online sources of psychological interest. Sure the online ether can be dangerous, revealing too much about yourself is foolish, and it is definitely addictive - but hey, it's not just the future, it's the present - and maybe it can be that brave new world everyone talks of?


p.s it involves a tweeting cat involved in a conspiracy theory. CHECK THIS OUT.
