Twitter

I found using Twitter very fun and easy. Only two of the original five people I chose to follow were actually using it, so I searched for more and found several people from our class that were actively using Twitter on a daily basis. I thought it was interesting and could be useful in communicating. I didn’t think the site was as in-depth as, say, Facebook though so probably will not continue using it in my personal life.

I don’t see a lot of use other than superficial communications as far as an educational use. Any teacher could use it in planning and make it a tool for their class communications. Beyond that, I don’t see any many other benefits.
The fact students could user Twitter from their computer or cell phone causes me to consider some of the negative aspects of it but overall does not cause that much concern. Technology is developing every minute and there will be so much available on CPU and/or Cell phone very soon. I really think it’s a fact of life and we do not want to go backward – but rather forward.

I would tell my family that Twitter was a communication tool to use similar to instant messaging – rather one dimensional.
