Final Twitter Thoughts
After using Twitter on a regular basis over the last few weeks, my comfort level of all the different aspects of Twitter has grown imensely. First of all, the “language” of Twitter was very confusing at first, but I can now read through most tweets and pick out what the publisher was trying to convey in the tweet. I am also comfortable posting links in my tweets.
While building my PLN, I found an individual that is dedicated to developing educational tools using technology. His twitter name is gregwilliams123. I have followed several links embedded in his tweets that go to new articles related to technology and instruction. I recently read a article titled “15 Favorite iPad Apps As Selected By Teachers” that not only listed the iPad Apps, but also exactly how they are used. Luckily, most of the apps can be used on other devices, so it is more realistic to use some of these in my classroom.
I have been trying to use my blog on a daily basis in class. After using our class hashtag (#peru552), I have decided to continue posting on my blog posts on twitter with my own unique hashtag (#ghschemistry). I know some of my students use twitter for personal use, so if I can reach a handful of students with assignment reminders, test reviews, and other helpful information I feel it’s a valuable tool to continue using.
