Week 8 Blog

Twitter,
I have learned a great deal about twitter in this class.  I never had an account and never really payed much attention to it before this class.  I did have to step out of my norm for twitter because I usually don't post many things about myself electronically due to various things that may result from posting certain items.  I have really started to pay closer attention to twitter especially after a few chats with the class and #edchat which have been interesting.  I kind of just jumped in on the second chat because the first one I was trying to read everybody's tweet and it was just very confusing to me personally.  Since then I have discussed with a couple other social studies teacher in other states and mainly focused on whats going to happen at my school in the near future.  Overall, I think that twitter is going to be a valuable tool in the future and I have received some great advice from some people. 

For education the most interesting individual I have followed is RIchard Byrne because of all the stuff he offers.  In regards to non-educational I would say Kenny Mayne from ESPN because he is always posting stuff that makes me laugh. 

I will continue to use twitter in the near future and would like to keep interacting with current students in EDU 552 and others as time goes on.
