I for one am very surprised with how the past couple of
weeks have gone learning about twitter. As I have mention before I believe I am
normally someone how doesn’t use social media. For the most part, I use it more
as a way to keep tabs on old friends or to get the latest general news. This is
primarily the reason that I avoid twitter. For me it was just a bare bones version
of the Facebook posting system where people posted silly things they did throughout
the day. While that is the case for some twitter users, I was pleasantly
surprised to learn that there were some users using the platform for my
educational and personal intrigue purposes. I have been able to gain a lot of knowledge
on the people and the topics I find interesting as well as getting it several
times faster then with other media sources. I could see myself definitely using
twitter in my professional development in the future. I also liked some of the
suggestion that where put up this week on how to use twitter in the classroom.
In particular, I liked using it as a question message board and using it to let
the class post research material. It can also be used to create a short story
where the student would trade off being the author. What level of use they
would get in a physics class though I do not know. In education nearly anything
can be an educational tool. You just need to know how to use it.
