Followingthe CI350class ontwitterallowedme tosee whatwasgoingon inthe worldof education
outside fromMarshall.Ihardlygetto watch the newsbecause Iam at school andthenrightafter thatI
go intowork. Havinga twitteraccount that postlinksandkeepspeopleuptodate is helpful for
someone whoisonthe go. Anytime IneededIcouldcheckonthe twitterprofile andsee whatthe scoop
was forthe day. One linkthatreallyinterestedme wasthe one about the little girl whodidn’tstandup
for the Pledge of Allegiance.Icanunderstandotheryoungchildrenscoldingherbecause she isdifferent
but the fact that the facilitydidthe same thingisdisgusting.Ialsoagree withthe statementthatit
shouldbe more of teachingstudentshow tothinknotwhat to think.
FollowingWiseinWV showedme alotof new thingsgoingonaroundthisarea and justingeneral.The
personwhocreatedthisaccount seemstobe an activistanda progressive personbecause of the ideas
that theytweet. It’sjustobviousbecausetheyshow compassionforpeopleasa whole andif they
weren’tprogressive thenthe tweetswouldbe inamore negative view of things.One tweetthatcaught
my eye wasthe fact that 40 percentof youthwhoare homelessare LBGT,it was a retweetfroma
differentaccountanddoesn’tshowanythingabouteducationbutitcan still relate tothe classroomina
way.In my opinionsome of those youthare probablyrunningawayfromhome because of whatisgoing
on inside theirhome andalsohowtheyare beingtreatedinschool.Teachersandadministrationcan
helpputan endto the bullyingandthe suicideswe see today.
AnotheraccountI followedwas@Dwight_Carter.He isa principal andisan advocatorof no office days.
Thismeanshe likestogo aroundin the school and observe whatisgoingonand see whatchangesneed
to be made.The majorityof histweetsare upliftingandmakingsure the page stayspositive.One of the

2. linkshe postedwasprettyinteresting andremindsme of somethingwe heardinourclass.
The linkisabout howeducationisalwayschangingandteachersneedtofollow up.Thislinkrecognizes
that teachersalreadyhave enoughontheirplate butitstime totry somethingdifferent,scrape off what
youknowand pickup anothermeal prettymuch.By doingthe same oldthingyouare usedto youare
hurtingyourself butthe mostimportantthingisyouare hurtingyourstudents.
The secondpersonI followedontwitterfromthe videowasNMHS_Principal butithasswitchedto
@E_Sheningen.Byfarhe is the mostactive personfromeveryone elseIhave followedandhe isanother
principal. Idecidedtofollow these principalsbecause Iwanttoget intothe administrationlevel of
educationaswell.Thisaccounthas a little personaluse andalsoisa linkforthe parentstosee what is
goingon inthe school and he is soactive that theyare gettinginformationmultiple timesinaday. One
thingI didnotice aboutthe videowe watchedwasthat there were nohistoryteachersatall inthe mix
whichI findprettyoddbecause there were somanydifferenttypesinthe listof names.
The third personIdecidedtofollowonmyownwas The HistoryChannelsowntwitteraccount.Inmy
opinionthere isnotenoughhistorygoingonwiththe account.We get a bunchof “thisday inhistory”
thishappenedorthat happenedbutthe majorityof itisoverranby pawnshops,ancientaliensandviking
showsandI’m startingto rememberwhyIslackedonwatchingit.But I still geta little historyandevery
nowand thenyouwill findsome actual historicfacts andlearnsomethingnew thatyouusuallydon’t
learninthe classroom.
