Twitter+Assignment

Twitter Assignment My experience with Twitter was not a very positive one, I felt it was to time consuming to stay on top of what everyone was posting. The questions I posted were never respond to by those in the ESL field. I thought I would get a lot of information to use in my classroom as well as with students but this did not happen. As for Twittler being a value to education I can see where students could get feedback on questions from all over the world. Though a drawback would be if their questions went unanswered or the time it took people to respond to the questions being posed. The most valuable experience throughout this lesson was just getting the opportunity to see what Twitter was all about and gaining some knowledge as to how to use it on a personal and professional level. You are given the opportunity to follow many different people at one time who are knowledgable in the education field as well as gain different insights to how people do things. The least valuabe experience was that not many people responded to the questions being asked also that there was a lot of information to sift through in order to find what you were looking for. While using twitter I had twelve people following me and I followed approxiamately ten people, most of those being members of our class. As thing stand now I will probably not use twitter as an educational tool with my students.
