Learning #EdTech
Before last month, I was adamant against Twitter and hashtags. I didn’t understand why I might need Twitter when I already use Facebook and Instagram religiously. Another social media app seems redundant. Having a class require Twitter usage made me briefly consider dropping the class. What exactly could it provide that FB and IG don’t? Twitter and I began with a Love/Hate relationship. But over time, I have come to embrace it. While I use FB and IG for my personal life, I am developing Twitter exclusively for academic reasons. Through Twitter, I am connecting to educators around the world. Their opinions and the articles they share are providing me with a much more well-rounded view of the many spokes of the academic community. While I may not always (often) agree with the point of view of the people and organizations that I am following on Twitter, the food-for-thought that they give me allows me further evaluate by beliefs.
