Twitter & Education

Hello!

According to the teachers guide to twitter states " twitter is an excellent tool for consuming and learning". This is true. It would make more sense for the older children in high school or junior high to integrate using social media as twitter but for educational reasoning.  Being a teacher you have to be mindful of each student. But otherwise you still have to have to remain careful because as an educator we have to look out for students to be connected but be careful that it doesn't fall out of balance and end up turning negative or taken the wrong way. With twitter and any social media we as educators have to look at all aspects and understand the outcomes of having this incorporated into classroom and students. Therefore, I believe its a good idea but just be cautious and make sure that it is known to the students its for positive learning not to be used for anything negative.
