Educator Professional Conversations via Twitter Chat: Speech Acts and Intentions in #PDBookClub
#PDBookChat was an affinity space of educators who read a professional book together and reflected on their learning through blogs, Twitter, and Google+. The book study culminated with an hour-long synchronous Twitter chat. Using Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis (Herring, 2001) and speech act theory (Searle, 1976) this paper focused on the Twitter chat to examine the discussion among the participants, the specific ways in which they connected their responses to each other and the content of the professional book they read, and provided an analysis of the key themes of the chat. This research provides evidence of how educators use Twitter to seek advice, share practices, and gain emotional support. In understanding how Twitter chats work to support professional learning, schools and educators can better leverage this free, easily accessible medium for professional development

Banned Books Week
As promised, I\u27m going to tell you about what the library is doing for Banned Books Week! I have had a lot of fun planning it. First of all, we\u27re going to have pins with book covers on them so that students can show off their favorite banned book. There will also be snacks, and a comment box where they can write their feelings on censorship which will be posted on Facebook and Twitter, hopefully every day but it depends on how many responses we get. I\u27m also making up signs so that students can see the title and then turn it around to see the reasons why the text was banned. A lot of them are really interesting, and maybe books you might not expect. [excerpt
Independent publishers and social networks in the 21st century: the balance of power in the transatlantic Spanish-language book market
The present paper uses Twitter to analyze the current state of the worldwide,
Spanish-language, independent publishing market. The main purposes are to
determine whether certain Latin American Spanish-language independent
publishers function as gatekeepers of World Literature and to analyze the
geopolitical structure of this global market, addressing both the
Europe-America dialectic and neocolonial practices. After selecting the sample
of publishers, we conducted a search for their Twitter profiles and located
131; we then downloaded data from the corresponding Twitter APIs. Finally, we
applied social network analysis to study the presence of and interaction
between our sample of independent publishers on this social media. Our results
provide data-based evidence supporting the hypothesis of some literary critics
who suggest that in Latin America, certain publishers act as gatekeepers to the
mainstream book market. Therefore, Twitter could be considered a valid source
of information to address the independent book market in Spanish. By extension,
this approach could be applied to other cultural industries in which small and
medium-sized agents develop a digital presence in social media. This paper
combines social network analysis and literary criticism to provide new evidence
about the Spanish-language book market. It helps validate the aforementioned
hypothesis, proposed by literary critics, and opens up new paths along which to
pursue an interpretative, comparative analysis
