Now that I have read the articles and looked at a twitter that students do the tweeting. I now want to start with twitter in the classroom. I actually think this will be easier than blogging. Tweeting is short and to the point. For someone like myself who is not a confident writer or enjoys writing. Tweeting is not so intimidating. I liked the students tweets on what they were doing that day. This could help with parent engagement. This also makes students think about what they did and how to explain it.
I also did one thing that was suggest was did my own personal twitter that I use to follow a few singers I enjoy along with some authors that I read. My school twitter that I am using for this class, I add following some children's authors that my students enjoy. I am now more aware of all the site that say follow us on twitter. Many for promotional ideas, I did manage a coupon. I started following VA Tech, my son will be attending in the fall. I like the to the point feeling of twitter. Even though I struggle with what to tweet each day. I think it will come easier as I use it more and more in the classroom.
