Evolving Mindset...
In Chapter 6 of
Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for the Classroom, Will Richardson shares some enlightening information about Twitter. I have definitely understood the potential of Twitter for collaboration with colleagues at or during conferences, in PLN's for educators, or in viewing quick news blurbs. However, as a general skeptic of social media, I have been leary about integrating Twitter into the classroom. Mr. Richardson (along with this course) has helped to evolve my mindset....it would definitely be worth trying!
I understand why you're questioning bring twitter into the classroom. I've always found it as a social media site where you post exactly what you're doing when you're doing it -- which to me is unnecessary and a little strange. But, after reading Chapter 6, I, like you, am at least willing to give it a shot.
