Twitter Assignment Reflection:
!
Being very familiar with Twitter, I knew that this assignment would be simple to
understand and carryout. After following the twitters initially, I looked back and reviewed them,
to make sure that I would be interested in them. I am glad to say that I have actually looked into
many things that these people tweeted. This assignment could fall under the language pillar of
21st century education due to the communication aspect. I can now see how, how helpful an
education twitter can be. I will use a Twitter in my career as an educator similar to how I plan to
use Facebook. It believe that having students follow your professional twitter would be a great
resource for older children. Parents of children of all ages would be able to enjoy the benefits of
my twitter. I might change the aspect of a public twitter, to make it private, in order to accept
anyone that wished to follow my twitter. But I know that even following these different people,
there are many different ways to use a Twitter in education. There are possibilities that range
from advice for other educators, to tips in studying for finals. As an elementary educator, I feel as
if a twitter keeping up with daily work and activities for parents would be great. It can and will
be an extremely helpful tool in my career.
