Twitter In the Classroom

I think that twitter should be used in classrooms but only in lecture classrooms. This will aid in the clarification of a certain question. Not all people are comfortable talking in front of some 300 people and I think that Twitter could be a useful tool for this problem. It is also a good way to record thoughts and ideas that you search, or even takes simple notes with. Twitter connects you to a larger world outside of the classroom and even the country. It can also be a useful for last minute or important alerts that a teacher might need to send out. Every day the world is becoming more technological and this is one way that might be a future help into education. If I were to use twitter in my classroom I would have my students have a private account so that what we share can be kept between us. Also I would recommend that my whole class participate so everyone can be on the same page.

Spring Break ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

How I rate Google Docs

I my own personal opinion Google Docs are great tools. There is so much that you can use them for. Also I like how it saves to the internet so you can always access them if you have access to the internet. This is a useful tool for cooperative projects; everyone can have access to them that you share with. I believe Google Docs is a very creative site for me as I will be a future teacher. One disadvantage I see with Google Docs is that that they are so behind on the latest techniques that other programs use, there is not as many tools as the competitor programs.

Wikis

In my opinon I am not a big fan of Wiki spaces. I like the idea of blogs better. One thing I dont like inparticular is that any one can edit your wiki. That could potentially end up bad. I also dont like how the editing of the wiki works. Blogs are more personal in my opinion. Also the wikis seem to have a few more gliches than Eblogger has. In the future in my classroom if I where to turn to a more electronical route, I could choose to use Eblogger.
