4 Twitter questions after Twitter discussion
What did you learn from using Twitter?
1. I learned that in a very short amount of time I could communicate with other educators about ideas anywhere in the world.
Think about the content that you gained from those you followed as well as what you learned about Twitter itself.
2. I learned a lot about websites, activity building for teachers, and about the advancement of technology as far back as elementary school.
Who was the most interesting person or persons that you followed? Why?
3. bdub7619 was my most interesting person, I sent him several DM. He and I both have a son named Jack, and when they have their next child they want to name him or her Sam. We have another boy named Sam. He had some very interesting ideas for his curriculum project.
Do you think you’ll continue to use Twitter personally, professionally and/or both after this assignment is complete? Why or why not?
4. Yes I will keep using Twitter, probably more professionally because I have no real need for it personally. I think the key factor is here, introducing it to my students. It will be so important for them to have a leg up on technology when they move on to college and the real world.

Following Super Tuesday on Twitter!
Yesterday, my students and I followed Super Tuesday on Twitter using CNN Breaking news Twitter and other forms of news agencies. What a fun way to follow breaking news. My students could reply to some of the comments being made on Twitter. Fun you have to try it teachers.

Richard Byrne's Blog Discussion
The first thing I discovered was the crash course channel that Byrne posted from YouTube. What a great way for someone to get a quick view of a topic. I watched a crash course video on Ancient Egypt. Byrne also included a “Making Videos for the classroom” section on his blog. He added some helpful tips on using a flip camera. I think this link he included on flip cameras would be very useful in my classroom. Students today are so good with technology they just need some tips on how to apply it and make it useful rather then just away to communicate socially, this blog can do that. He also included free downloads which can be really helpful for teachers. The only issue I would say is that most of the links take a long time to pull up. That can be very frustrating when your teaching and you trying to get a 40 min. class in. It can be to slow loading or not work at all. I think creating a blog for my students is a great way for them to use technology to find alternative means of research. I could post videos I find related to my topics and post information that is helpful. I could also post deadlines and have them post their work through comments on my blog as well as have discussion through blog. I think the blog is a powerful tool to make learning fun!
