Social networking sites are very important in today's society. Educators should be aware of their benefits. Twitter and Facebook are certainly the most popular. Educators could use Facebook to connect with many other educators throughout the world! Twitter is more of the same thing, but in 140 characters or less. Twitter could potentially reach more people with certain ideas or links if you are able to get more prominent accounts to ReTweet your information. So, there seems to be more potential, as far as reaching as many people as possible, with Twitter. I really like Twitter because it is so simple, yet so powerful. I use Twitter to get all of my News as it happens. For updates during the Boston Bombing, I used twitter. For sports information on the spot, I use twitter. Twitter is much faster at spreading information that Facebook. I could see many schools using a Twitter account in the future to make announcements to parents, teachers, and students. Teachers could tweet out links to Google Docs with today's assignments on it for students that may have been absent. The possibilities are endless. Oh, below is a link to my Twitter account. Follow me!
