Assignment 3 : Twitter

Completing the assignment on twitter was very interesting and mind boggling for me. Tweeting has definitely caused a revolution in the way in which we communication. It's certainly a resource that can be used for educational purposes. Though I'd heard of twitter for some time now I never had the desire to create an account. Once I created the account tweeting just didn't come natural to me. Viewing the tweets of others helped me to realize exactly how popular tweeting had become. I thought people put a lot of their lives on facebook, but have mercy twitter has taken it to another level definitely well above that of facebook. It's literally a step by step, minute by minute dialogue of your daily events. Being on twitter doesn't even compare to blogger it's in a league of it's own.

Creating the account was fairly easy but using its features was another story. I'm still trying to get used to sending messages on Facebook and twitter is even more complicated. Finding friends and things of that nature was also not so simply to me. Completeing the total of five tweets for this class was the hardest thing for me. Finding the right words to say to the world was very hard for me. I really think I put entirely to much thought into the whole twitter assignment. But I do believe that I finally got the hang of things. I took me a while but finally between Valerie and I we figured out how to direct message one another. We did this by accepting each others friend request.

I also feel that tweeting can be used in a healthy learning environment. It's use will definitely require close adult supervison. But can build a community between students a world away. Group assignments can definitely be incorporated into the use of Twitter. It's use for educational purpose as with other technology are endless. All in all I enjoyed completing this assignment and look forward to happy tweeting !!!
