Ferguson, H. (2010). Enhance your twitter experience. Learning & Leading with Technology, 14-17.
Summary: I have to admit these articles were hard to read because I dislike the whole Twitter Scene. I do have to say that I did learn a lot more about Twitter. I never knew Twitter had so many features to use. However, I feel that many of these same aspects, Facebook has as well and is easier to use and I guess more of the in thing today. The only features Facebook may not have are the organizers and Bookmarklet, which from the reading can be very useful, however Facebook still has my vote. Another aspect not mentioned too much was security (very important), but on Facebook that is something the individual has complete control of.
Q1: With so many other technology tools, does society see this from a learning perspective?
A1: I do not believe so because there are so many other sites out there that can assist in learning, teaching, or organizing without the hassle of having to “work at” as the article explains.
Q2: Does being involved in something like this take time away from students?
A2: I believe if teachers do not know how to control themselves and divide up their time could affect the students negatively because they are looking at other people’s ideas and not using their own as much, or putting in valuable time into teaching.
