The Effect of Twitter Use in the Classroom on Student's Acceptance of Technology Using the TAM-3 Model

The focus of this research was measuring the effect of Twitter use in the classroom on students' acceptance of technology using the TAM-3 model. This mixed methods study revealed a significant effect from students' use of Twitter in classroom assignments not only on increasing candidates' view of Twitter as being useful, easy to use, and relevant but also the view of the LMS as being useful and easy to use as well. Qualitative reflection data helped to further explain candidates' perceived usefulness and perceived relevance of technology at tools for connecting with others and learning beyond the classroom.
