There were many helpful learning tools on twitter. When I searched the hashtags, it was nice to have a lot of information about specific things right in front of you and you don't have to click around from one website to another. I also loved that people shared ideas within the certain topic and gave their insight. Another benefit of it is that there are various "levels" of people sharing the ideas and information (it is open to everyone). I am always hesitant in signing up for more social media, but I think Twitter would benefit me the most. It will give an insight on teaching and just people in general that can help my teaching. If students can get access to it, it would be a nice tool for them to search a topic and find various sources. Also, it would be neat to do an assignment hash tagging a topic and having everyones ideas in one area. There are many things that I think you can do with twitter in the classroom, along with giving useful information for teachers to use in their teaching practices.
Terrific! Glad you were able to find good information. Twitter can be very efficient when you've found the right hashtags.
