Thing 21

Twitter

When I first learned about Twitter I thought using it was like talking to myself like a mad woman or shouting into the wind. I went ahead and signed up for an account and I wasn't so wrong. No one really wants to know that I cleaned the cat's litter box today.

I'm kind of a news junkie, though, so I found that following some tweeters was a quick way to keep up to date.

My kids use it, so I know what they're up to, also. I can tweet from my phone and use direct messages to send a text message. It's pretty fun.

One of the things I learned to do, which might be a good way to use Twitter at school, is to link to articles or images I think might interest my colleagues.
