I have to admit, twitter is slowly growing on me. When I was first introduced to twitter I thought it was a waste of time, but I now realize that you can learn alot from using twitter. I mainly use twitter to read other teachers post and I often find useful information from doing this. I have already learned some great teaching techniques that I would have never thought of without seeing them on twitter. Twitter is a great way for teachers to collaborate back and forth and share each others teaching strategies. As a future teacher I hope I will be able to share my techniques with people all around the world. Some of the teachers I follow also post helpful websites and podcast on twitter.
Twitter is not just a site to learn from, but it's also a great way to relieve stress and just enjoy communicating with others. It never hurts to have a good laugh every now and then. I look forward to using twitter in the future not only for myself, but I want to encourage my students to use twitter. In my opinion twitter is going to help educate indiviuals around the world for a long time. It has already helped me tremendously and I believe that there's much more to come.
A bit about me...
I am a student at the University of South Alabama and I am majoring in physical education. I am planning on getting my bachelors degree and later finishing my master's after I find a job in the school system. I started my college education in 2006 at Alabama Southern Community College before transfering to the University of South Alabama. I recommend attending a community college before going to a University. It made it so much easier for me to get my basics out of the way and finished. I work part time at a bicycle shop called Cadence 120 which is across the street from South Alabama.
