Tweet Tweet

I have never utilized twitter and I found it very difficult upon opening this account. First, I am a relatively private person so I choose not to utilize my actual name for this assignment; am uncertain if this has caused more confusion. I still need to spend more face time with this tool. I spent over an hour searching for a way to add someone else from this class and could not find it and I am still uncertain if I am utilizing this tool correctly. I have received no replies from any of my contacts. I had to seek from my younger sister and still don’t quit have the hang of this. This was definitely a new experience! Regarding the uses of twitter in education, I’ve seen several advantages. I could post announcements via twitter to my students, for a more immediate response since everyone has some form of PDA or Smartphone attached to their hip. Another idea could be simple searches for content specific material related to their area of concentration. In addition to research purposes. I’m quite sure I could find several other purpose once I learn how to use this tool more efficiently myself. So for this course I have opened up my very first account, you can follow me (@Angeep20Carrie) I enjoyed this excercise so much that I have now activated the app on both my iphone and ipad.
