The life of a tweet


Tweets are little bits of text. 

However, if one creates a framework requiring also that the tweets be structured in standard ways, one can tweet knowledge constructions such as concepts in pure mathematics, equations, simulations such as Second Life, or updates to your Twitter files. 

Math tweets may be used to teach set theory, probability, statistics, arithmetic in arbitrary bases, college algebra, theory of functions and the calculus.  This core is the minimal core one would expect of a college degreed person. 

Math tweets links topics from these disciplines to any other set of topics that an individual wishes to add or subtract from lists. 

More on this topic mapping methodology is provided in the manuscript “Bridge to the Future” by the author.  The point here is that these lists are to be managed in what is essentially a private knowledge operating system, one that is sharable with friends.

To discover this rich and multi-coherent view of mathematics, as a freshman college student, is liberating in the best sense.  

A benefit arises from topic mapping of one’s knowledge. 

The topic maping techniques may be applied to other course of study. 

However, the greatest benifit from this new pedagogy is that lifting of a sense that one cannot learn mathematics. 

Mathematics is made easier to learn.
