Like many people, I thought Twitter was simply another social media site. I never realized the potential to aid education that Twitter truly possesses. By searching for hash-marks to find topics and following valuable sources. like other educators and specialists in certain fields, Twitter can be helpful in a variety of ways. In the classroom, teachers can use Twitter to keep in touch with students and share information with them. Teachers can also find interesting information and real life examples and experiences to use in their lessons. I pan on having a classroom Twitter account so that students can share information and collaborate no matter where they are. I will also require my students follow a variety of useful history sources on Twitter. On a side note, I know that the bird in the picture is not the typical Twitter icon. I choose a better blue bird, my blue Quaker Parrot Rocket. If you would like, follow my on twitter @danijudy75. Here is a Twitter Tutorial by Garth Holman. To help make Twitter a little more practical, you can use a third party site to help organize the information.
