Thing# 15.5: Twitter

The Twitter lingo intimidates me. I am slowly learning how to use the @ symbol and the # hashtag symbol. Ever since Facebook has allowed Twitter users to update their comments on the Facebook news feed I have started becoming more familiar with all the symbols.

I think Twitter would be a great form of communication between the parents and myself for keeping them updated with what's happening in the classroom. I'm sure that when parents ask their child what they did in school today, they still get the typical answer, "not much." I could post questions for my parents to ask, such as "Ask your child about the different weather instruments we learned about today."

Unfortunately, I tried getting on the Twitter website at school and it was blocked. Hopefully, if I express how I would like to use this feature in the classroom, they will unblock the website.
