First off, here's this
My Twitter: RienWetmore
Now to the main point of this blog: the potential of twitter as an educational tool. Twitter is a social networking site, and it's meant to be used as such. It was never designed to be an educational tool, except for how easily it makes communication. As a teacher, if you have lesson plans or ideas that you want to share and have commented on, Twitter is the perfect tool. If you want feedback on how effective you think a project was, Twitter is the perfect tool. It's a perfect tool for communication. Inside the classroom, however, students will simply use Twitter to socialize and not focus. There are already enough distractions in students' lives, why add one more inside the classroom?
