Thing #18

       As a member of both Facebook and Twitter for many many years, this "Thing" was a breeze. Facebook and Twitter are very important for educators to use. By adding your co-workers and fellow educators on both Facebook and Twitter we can bounce ideas off each other, learn tips, post videos, and post links to certain helpful sites to aid our fellow teachers. Twitter also is becoming a source of instant news. When events like the Colorado theater shooting, Sandy Hook shooting, and the hurricane in New York, I was able to follow along with facts and happenings in almost real time. So instead of waiting for the evening news at 10 after things have been watered down and edited, I am getting the news from eye witnesses and first-hand accounts of what they are seeing, hearing, and feeling as fast as they can tweet. It is such a useful tool and allows the user to connect with people instantly all over the world. Both of these sites are very easy to used and navigate. So much so, that both of my parents are on these sites and use them on a daily basis. So with all that being said, here's a link to my Facebook profile and to my Twitter profile. Feel free to check em out and follow me on Twitter and add me on Facebook!
