Twitter and Me

I created a twitter account almost a year ago. I created it because a lot of my friends were on it and said that it was really fun. Initially I got it to "test the waters." Now I'm using it a lot. Mostly to follow and tweet on this one radio personality's page... Kimberly from Kimberly and Beck... but I do have tweets of my own sometimes

Last week, our teacher had us make a professional twitter account. At first I have to admit I thought it was pretty stupid, but now I'm guessing it could actually be useful. For both interacting within the classroom with your fellow classmates, but also with the teacher. When I go into the work field, I could use it to; communicate with parents, ask students questions and give them all a chance to answer, and communicate with other teachers and admin.

Today, in class, the teacher had a take a quiz using twitter and Google docs. We were in groups, and using twitter, answer questions in a Google docs format. The teach posted all the questions we had to answer on twitter, and we had to tweet our responses.

The final frontier

     This presentation is trying to get teachers to incorporate technology into the classroom. The different slides showed different reasons why teachers should implicate technology into thier teaching styles
     I worked with two others. As a whole that we worked well together. Not only did we all have good personalities, but good work ethics. We all did at least one slide. We put two videos and photos into our slide. This was to enhance the knowledge of others and make them see that this is a good way to go about doing things and a way of teaching teachers should switch over to
     The article, Teachers' Beliefs, talked about how teachers pedagogical beliefs and what they think of technology. There were a few experts that gave reasons to why technology should be integrated into everyday teaching. One of these beliefs would be "easy access"
