Thing #18

Okay so I am a new-by to Twitter and I have had trouble trying to get my account set up. The entire process is awkward to me. I can't find my friends as easily as I can on Facebook. I am so use to browsing Facebook that it makes searching Twitter hard for me. The idea of Twitter and Facebook are both useful for teachers because they can search Facebook for posts that people have put on Facebook or Twitter and build upon their ideas. Teachers can build an entire lesson from information found on twitter. Teachers really need to appreciate the idea behind social networking because this networking could possibly open the future to virtual classrooms, it could create a different way that students learn and how teachers present the information to students. Students are much more interested in social networking than classes. What if a teacher could take the classroom to the networking site? Teachers could host and individual group based upon social media within the classroom. Teachers could host forum discussions and get students' feedback on assignments. The possibilities are endless.
