Hmm..Twitter

When required to open a Twitter account for this class, I found that  I had already had one!  In all honesty, my previous  uses for Twitter were for entertainment purposes..winning contests...showing up somewhere so I could win something.  It took a long night of researching to get a handle on how Twitter can actually impact education.  My biggest misconcomption was that Twitter was only a "cell  phone thing". I still struggle with Twitter as an educational tool, however, there are many resources to instruct how to use Twitter as classroom resource.  I was amazed to find that there is a whole Twitter Dictionary!

So many tools...so little time

Ths blog will recount my experiences while undertaking Emerging Technology for Libraries.  Just short of half way through my LMS program, I have much to learn!  It is amazing and even a little daunting to consider the number of tools available and how they can be used in the classroom.  Time to dive in!
