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!

Here I am saying Emmy got me thinking and you are doing the same thing! It is funny that you focused on the cell phone aspect when I was just the opposite until last year. I think there must be something to the idea that the context in which you use a tool colors the way in which you perceive it.
ReplyDeleteI also used Twitter for entertainment and news, but not for educational applications. I made a new account for this class.
