Thing #18~Amy Rutledge

Thing #18 covers social networking. My Twitter link is: http://twitter.com/#!/micaylamy. I will tell you upfront, I am not a Twitter addict, and forget I have it have the time. However, I do follow a few interesting people to me (Pioneer Woman for example). I like it is a neat way to connect on a different level with friends, family, or even peers. I think teachers utilizing social networks will allow them to have an innumerable amount of knowledge and resources right at their fingertips at anytime! You will be able to keep up with what is going on in other classrooms, tricks for classroom management, or even an easier way to teach a new concept. There will always be someone who has some help for you! I think it would be possible to link up with other classrooms, whether in the same state or another country, and let the kids interact and compare and contrast what they are doing in school. This might be a fun way for students to interact and learn at the same time.
