Unlike my pal twitter junkie Matt Lafever, I am still hesitant to embrace this social phenomena. However, I do find twitter to be incredibly useful at getting a hold of classmates quickly and efficiently. I also am considering some useful tools for the classroom, which is of course the goal, right? I just get nervous when thinking about a group of high school students on this network attempting at class work via the internet without the trouble of: peer harassment, unmonitored cheating, like I said in my tweet, "half ass lazy answers". Though the experience is sure to be fun and enlightening, I wish I had my own students to test this new approach out on and see my possible results. Here's to twitter!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out.
The thing is, one day I woke up and was a Twitter Junkie. I tried it a couple of times, had some crazy nights with Twitter, I'll tell ya.
But, one day I woke up, and I couldn't stop. That's how it works girl. That Twitter train slams you hard and you don't stop rolling.
I need help.
