I honestly didn't use twitter much this semester. I checked the class twitter a couple times earlier in the semester but other than that I've only been on twitter to set up my account. I haven't even posted a single tweet of my own.
I don't plan on using twitter outside of this classroom. I think it is the least appealing of any of the social networking sites I've used. I don't care to post every single thought or action of my day, nor do I care to follow anybody else's.
I've heard of teachers using twitter in their classrooms, and I can see it as a educational tool to an extent. It's a social networking site after all, which means it's a good source of communication. Teacher's could use a class twitter like ours to post updates about assignments, etc. or students could use it to contact each other about projects or homework. However, I personally do not plan on implementing twitter in my classroom, I think there are plenty of more effective teaching tools.
Your twitter use is similiar to mine. This semester i looked at it at the beginning just to check things, but after that i never went back and used it for this class. I think that twitter is a good communication device, but i agree i don't see myself using it in the future as of right now
ReplyDeleteI agree, I probably won't use twitter anymore after this class is over. I attempted to post one tweet, or whatever it's called, but it just wasn't a very engaging site.
