Twitter

I have always heard of Twitter, and have even seen hash tags floating around Facebook posts, but just never explored it myself.  Before taking this course I had no desire to check Twitter out, and I was so busy trying to catch up with all the changes being made on Facebook.  Well in class the other night I created a Twitter account and with some guidance saw how this Social Media website can be used in an educational way.

I have to admit I was pretty impressed with the amount of information I could have access to by doing a simple search.  The content embedded within each individual post was pretty cool.  I can definitely see how educators use this tool to their advantage.  They are able to tap into new ideas and tips for their class rooms in the matter of a few minutes.

I definitely plan to familiarize myself with Twitter a little more now that I know of its capabilities! How are you guys using Twitter right now?  More for personal or professional?
