I am the first to admit that I am not the most tech-savvy person in the world, but I do seem to be making some headway through the exercises in this class. I have a Facebook and a Twitter account, but only for a short time. The Facebook account was set up to keep in touch with family and friends and to see photos of grandkids, great-grandkids, great-nieces, etc., and because I have no time to write letters to anyone in order to stay informed. I do not like putting my links out for everyone, but I will say that I was able to reconnect with a very good high school friend that I had lost touch with through Facebook. Just on a lark, I typed her name in one day and lo and behold, there she was with all her kids and grandkids. So, I suppose I can see some good possibilities for the usefulness of Facebook and Twitter.
My Twitter account was set up for this class, and is geared more towards communicating with other teachers and educators. I believe that this type of social networking will be highly beneficial to me as a future educator and along those lines, I added a lot of websites about teaching, education, English teachers and literature. I have learned a great deal from these assignments that are pushing me into the world of technology.
