Twitter Reflection

Twitter is a social networking site where individuals can sign up for free and the select individuals they would like to follow based on their personal interests. After following someone, their updates and posts will automatically pop up on your homepage, allowing you to stay updated with everything they tweet on their own twitter page. Basically, it is sort of like a website dedicated to Facebook status updates. Because you choose whose tweets you want to follow, it is a great way to find educators who post tons of great resources daily. Also, whenever you post a tweet, individuals who choose to follow you will get to view your posts on their homepage along with everyone else they follow. While I am not quite sure how Twitter could be used within the classroom itself, it is a great place to find resources and tips that you could use for your classroom as well as professional development.
