I wasn't at all sure what I was getting myself into when I signed up for Twitter but I believe it was well worth it. I have come up with lists about Twitter that I believe are worth sharing.
What It does great:
- Connects teachers and anyone to people across the globe that they never would have met.
- Spreads a little upbeat joy to everyone.
- An easy way to find some neat web apps and cool sites. (especially from @shannonmmiller)
- An easy way for anyone to get news updates on weather to a crash on the interstate.
- I can interact with others who have the same passion and understanding as me. In general people I am constantly around get very tired of always hearing about the library.
- A quick way to get answers for just about anything from what camcorder should I buy, to how can I add pizazz to my blog, to What is a PLN?
- A place to put my thoughts where I feel like people are listening.
- A place for me to build my PLN 15 years in advance! ;) At that point in time I'm not sure if my Personal Learning Network will be outdated. I'm truthfully not sure what I am going to use my group of educators I have gathered (PLN) for at this moment. (Note to self: tomorrow's blog post)
Earlier I said that Twitter is Life-Changing so here is why in my perspective... Twitter has changed my life by connecting me to the world. You don't have to wait until the 6:00 news to know that the fireworks display was canceled, or have to wait for the Thursday paper to learn what happened LAST week. You can access the news & people & updates specifically about things YOU like ANYTIME.Lets face it... The only bad things about Twitter is that it is addicting, time consuming, & has too many whale carrying birds!
What does Twitter do to help you? How do we use Twitter effectively? When do we know we are using Twitter effectively?
