Thing 15.5: Twitter

Honestly, I seldom use my Twitter account.  I have not yet taken time to learn all of the lingo and it can be confusing.  However, since Facebook started allowing Twitter users to update their news feed comments, I have been forced to learn more about using Twitter correctly.  I would like to incorporate educational tweets into my class to encourage student participation and heighten their engagement.  Students also could post assignments and share personal Twitter texts by connecting with their peers.  For security, awareness, and interactions, parents can access the same accounts and stay connected with what their child(ren) is/are sharing and learning.
