To Tweet, or Not to Tweet

From the moment I heard about Twitter, I was against it. I mean what could be better than my beloved Facebook? However, over the past six months or so, I have been curious about it. I mean what could be so wrong with something used by so many? Could I be missing out on something great? I think my Twitter-based fear is common among many educators. It may not be Twitter specifically, but I think that a common belief of educators (especially those of an older generation) is, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”  This class is definitely opening my eyes even more to the possibilities I either do not know about, or don’t consider as a classroom tool. It is the challenge of us as future administrators to implement this exciting technology into our classroom and eventually, into our staff. There is so much out there to engage our students. As educators, we just have to take the plunge. So at the end of the day, I have more knowledge of available technology….and a Twitter account.
