Blog post 11

I actually never used Twitter after the day we made it in class. I went home and found my friend and celebrities to "follow" but I never logged in again after doing that. For me, Twitter was kind of confusing. It was easy to post tweets, but I had problems seeing who responded to what. I just never really grasped it.

I don't plan to use Twitter again. It's pretty much just like using Facebook status updates. Also, Twitter is good if you have a phone that supports it, but my phone doesn't have Internet on it anymore so I won't receive tweets until I log onto my computer.

Twitter could be a useful educational tool, but I think there are better ways to communicate in the classroom. Twitter allows the teacher to communicate almost instantly with their students if the children have phones that enable them to use Twitter, or allow the student to look up tweets once they log into a computer. This could be done with emails or instant messages as well. The main benefit to using Twitter is the fact that everyone can see the same information at once.
