Last week I created a twitter account for my CEP 416 class. I was a little skeptical at first because I have heard that twitter can be very distracting and people get obsessed with it like Facebook. I still do not feel very comfortable with it, but I am now realizing that if you only use it for education purposes (like I am for my class), it is not too overwhelming. I realize this is a good way to get daily updates from all the people you are following. I think that the more educational people I start to the follow the easier it will be to pick up on all the great things twitter has to offer. For example, instead of doing a google search on new educational technology, if you are following someone who has a tech ed twitter, all the updates are right there for you in their newsfeed. I am coming to realize this technology is a very useful tool.
