Mircroblogging is a form of blogging but typically used in shorter sizes such as small texts, images or videos. Websites like Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr allow their users to broadcast information to their followers. For example, let's say you're watching the game. A Website like Twitter enables former professional athletes, coaches and journalists to tweet their thoughts and opinions, providing different perspectives to the reader. From an educational standpoint, microblogging can be valuable and informative as it offers a wide range of opinions from different sources. Instead of reading one opinion from a journalist of a newspaper or magazine, one can gather several opinions on the same topic and choose which people they prefer to follow. Personally, I follow tweets from professional broadcasters, athletes, coaches, organizations and clubs.

I think you are right about microblogging being a very useful tool. I hope that we learn many new things that we can take to the classroom to relate with our students and make them excited about getting fit!
