David Parry, a professor of Emerging Media and Communications at University of Texas, Dallas, uses Twitter, which is like micro blogging to communicate with students outside of class. Twitter is restricted to 140 characters and pushed to one’s cell phone. Professor Parry feels that for his students who use Twitter he has a better sense of how they are doing in class, as well as in general with their lives out of the class, than his students who don’t use it. He eloquently summarized the current state of affairs in higher education with regard to emerging media and technologies:
"We have to think of how the walls of the classroom no longer apply. Academia is conservative and is trying to keep and maintain those walls but for our students those walls don’t exist so the more we as professors try to put up those walls and say I will only talk to you inside of the class the more irrelevant we become. The more we can reach out to our students with the communications tools they are used to using the more we can show them that education really does matter and that what is happening within the walls of the institution matters to what’s going on in their lives."
