Twitter Adventure

Previously I tried Twitter as a social tool. After years of using Facebook and being comfortable with the interface of Facebook and there wasn't any part of Twitter I liked. I constantly looked for the "like" button but it does not exist on Twitter. After enrolling in ETEC 527 I find out I must not only join Twitter but I must have "Twitter Adventures." What could I do but go on a Twitter Adventure.

For the first few days I will admit I was not enjoying the adventure. Once I learned how Twitter works and became used to the interface Twitter isn't as bad as I thought. I am actually beginning to like it. Typing a topic I would like to explore couldn't be any easier. There are many great teaching resources that have been shared by my peers and that is something I didn't experience at that level on Facebook. The greatest challenge I have to overcome is keeping my tweets under 140 characters.

Posting random thoughts about myself and my life isn't something I am interested in doing on Twitter. I am interested in the information and resources that are available concerning education and technology at the click of the mouse. Twitter provides a platform where educators can share resources and ideas from all over the world. Another positive aspect from using Twitter is getting real time updates on events that happening around the world whether it be political, technology conventions, etc.
