Twitter Never Fails

Twitter can be used for more than just the basic expressing your feelings.Twitter can be used for many different ways professionally and non-professional. Twitter can be used in a classroom for educational purposes because you can use certain hashtags to keep your room security safe.The internet is a dangerous place yes and it is hard to be safe all the time. In my years growing up we didn't use twitter we used a class facebook where you were able to request the class and get the updated like that so it is private. I feel if you have a class you shouldn't be using twitter until you have students who are old enough to understand that there are "hurtful" things posted by celebrities or even just rude people, you need to know your audience. My twitter is full of random things where I don't even know what will pop up sometimes.
Yeah you can have a specific hashtag for your class or @ name you can post specific things for your audience. Teachers need to have the most control over twitter and they need to see what's being @ or said by other students.  So I do think having twitter in your class is very beneficial hence kids are out sick or have a quick question you can post something super quick and get a response quickly from the other kids in the class.

If you don't have a twitter and you are in school you don't need a twitter @ name which I feel is interesting, you are still able to find what your class is doing by putting the @ name in the search bar. It is interesting though that you are able to just plug something so random what you may need for a project or just to even help you with something and you can find your answer right there in the search bar. It isn't scholarly of course but it helps you out a little with getting you started on some insight.
Teachers may be able to use this tool to their advantage in many different ways because they can have a class leader who can be in charge of posting the initial tweet and the classmates replying from the initial.


I found two twitter handles that would be a good support in my class from a teachers perspective and then something where kids are able to go to for a reference.

Scholastic Kids Press is about what kids are doing around the world and they are getting noticed by Scholastic, Twitter Head This one talks about a girl who is a magician and they have her on the home page with describing what she does.
The next twitter handle I found was (Twitter Head) https://twitter.com/ScholasticTeach, from a teachers point of view and describes what types of books I can bring into my classroom. I have a friend who teaches and Scholastic has $1 a month books that get sent to your classroom and she posted it actually on facebook to see if anyone would support the kids who are not able to afford the montly books. She used her social media to get the kids in her room the help she needed from Scholastic.
