Post #11

1)I don't really have much experience using twitter this semester. The only experience I have is creating an account the first day of class. I think that week I checked a couple of post regarding eme 2040. I didn't find twitter to be useful while I was in this course. If I was confused about something or had a question then I would just contact Ms. Kim via email. She would always respond back to me and we would arrange meeting times to discuss assignments I was unsure about.
2.) I don't think that I am going to use twitter in the future. I am always in touch with friends and family by email, phone, or meetings. I don't find this website to be beneficial to myself. I am also not going to be teaching, but If I were I would not include twitter in the classroom. I rather just have students come to me if they are having problems. I don't want the students to have to get clarification from the other students. This is because I don't know whether another student is giving the correct information. The other student may think he/she knows what she is talking about, but they really are unclear on the subject. Then they would be spreading false information and making matters worse.
3.) I don't think twitter is a good resource or educational tool. I think I explained why I feel this way in the above paragraph. Although, I could only see this website being beneficial to students if their professor was unavailable or hard to reach most of the times. I had no problem getting in touch with Ms. Kim this semester. Although, if she never responded back to my emails then I would want to use twitter to post questions and hope the students would respond back!!!
