Well, I went to NECC determined to learn to Twitter. I have an account, but I can't say I have been successful yet!
Here are some of the new terms that I heard and am trying to learn:
Twitter, Tweet, etc.: Tweets are text based posts of up to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users - known as followers - who have subscribed to them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow open access. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, SMS or external applications. (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter)
Ning: a site that lets you create your own social network (like Facebook or MySpace).
Back-Channeling: the practice of electronically passing notes among some or all of the audience/students during a lecture or discussion. Common back channeling devices are Meebo and Twitter.
Voice Thread: a way to have a group discussion about video, documents, etc. that is recorded and saved. (www.voicethread.com)
