blog 11

My use of twitter was very limited this semester. I learned how to set up an account and how to follow others but I found that using e-mail or the blogging website was substantially easier. It was not forced upon us to check out twitter account often therefore it was pretty far in the back of my mind.
I highly doubt I will use twitter in the future. Very few of my friends have twitter accounts mainly because we are comfortable with facebook and e-mail as means of communication. As a teacher it will not be necessary to have a twitter account and I feel that you can find out all the information found on twitter elsewhere.
Twitter could be useful as an educational tool with older students. Middle and high school students could follow each other and the teacher could post assignments or links to assignments or helpful videos. Kids could easily work together on projects without being physically together to share the information they found. As an elementary teacher though I can not see myself using twitter for educational purposes.
