I am bitterly dissapointed by the distortion of facts outlined in the story and the attacks on Dr Ewart's character on some sites. I expect better from professionals! <br><br>Firstly, the class in not on Twitter - I have no idea how you came to this idea?<br>Also, I was one of the very few students who was unfamiliar with Twitter but NONE of us said we did not know what Twitter was. I also raised concerns about using it as 'a self reflection tool' in the manner proposed in class suggesting this was a waste of time. I am a social worker with a psychology degree. It was my opinion that most students would learn more from a self reflective essay than tweets.  <br><br>One more comment....your article does not seem to contain many facts. Why not do some research and think before you write. You did not even spell Dr Ewart's last name correctly. I may not have known what Twitter is but, thanks to you, I certainly have a great example of bad journalism to learn from. Maybe Twitter was not a waste of time after all?<br><br>All I can write (with imputation) is MEDIA LAW, DEFAMATION and AJA CODE OF ETHICS. Shame on you!<br>s# 1745016]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[james_hyams]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 28th 2009 10:02PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
