What we did…
I have been tweeting personally for about 3 years now. I love the concept and the shared knowledge that comes with it. I would say that I do it haphazardly. I tend to be more of a listener to other tweets than an individual who puts information out. I have grown professionally from it. I follow various technology groups and other individuals that provide up to date information on things that interest me. I allow push notifications to my iPad with twitter and other 2.0 tools.
The NETS Standard Met…
Facilitate and Inspire Student learning and Creativity: model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
The way I can use this information…
To collaborate with others in a professional way. Many educators use twitter as a source of finding information. Twitter is also used to communicate in an informal way that doesn’t involve everyone in everyone else’s business. It is a top down communicative hierarchy. In my school setting I can send information without a follower of mine having access to another follower of mine through direct access of my account. So, in other words there is no reply to a “wall post” like in facebook so communication is kept relatively “in house”.
