Voice Thread

Slowly making my way through all the assignments this week and I get to the PLN and Voice thread... I am listening to each other educators when I get to the guy from Chicago who says the single most important things is TWITTER?!?!? My chin hit the table. This summer session I was also taking Writing in the Classroom with Dr. Rebecca Norman (she is great if you get the chance to take a class with her). As one of our assignments we were to create a twitter account and tweet eight times about what we discussed in class that day. Now that the class is almost over, we had to write a reflective essay about the experience. I was not very nice and expressed my hatred of twitter. I never understood the point of twitter, honestly I still don't.   So I am a little shocked to hear this educator discuss how imperative it is. Ok... back to listening. Oh geesh, another person plugging twitter. What am I missing here?


I am all about being a 21st century teacher, what other resources can I use besides twitter? As I continued reading and listening, I was hoping to get some other options. Maybe I need to stop resisting the current and join the twitter movement. Most of the educator talked about edchat. I have never heard of it before so I did some research. This is what I found: What is #Edchat?

Now that I completely feel behind the twitter times, its time for more research. How do I use twitter? Well, that's where I started.

Hmmmm... maybe twitter isn't so bad after all.
