Thing #18 - Twitter

https://twitter.com/JstinLorie

This activity took me a while because I have never used Twitter before. I do have a facebook and hadn't seen the need to get a Twitter. It forces you to choose a bunch of friends or things to follow just to sign up. I don't know anyone's Twitter account information so I ended up "following" a bunch of Educational websites. I primarily chose to follow Early Childhood Educational sites.
It is important for educators to understand social networking because its quickly becoming one of the leading forms of communication. It seems that people love the ability to just post a quick little statement about what is going on in their day, or what is on their  mind and post it into the cyber world for all their friends to read.
Hash-tags # confused me greatly at first. It seems to be a type of branding almost. Its a way to provide essential information that is supposed to improve your social media intelligence. Hash-tag searching pulls up relevant information to whatever word you had typed in. It works pretty well in my opinion.

I know that teachers are already using it in the classroom by having their students "follow" them in their class. Teachers use it to update information about their class, assignments, tests, and even schedule meeting times.
