Using Twitter in the Classroom

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

Twitter is a social microblogging site that enables users to create social and professional learning networks. This free service allows you to share in short, 140 character phrases an answer to the question: “What you are doing?” You can also follow other Twitter users to see what they are doing. The limit of 140 characters requires users to be concise and to the point. Twitter is an informal way of staying in touch with others. One thing I like to share with people is that you DON’T have to have a Twitter account to follow others…you just need to know their user name. For example, you can follow The Teacher’s Corner (user name is teachercorner) by visiting this URL: http://twitter.com/teachercorner

Watch this “Twitter in Plain English” video to learn the basics.

EbayRecently I was looking for an inexpensive copy of Dreamweaver Studio (website building software), and figured eBay was a great place to start looking.  I found what I thought to be a fair price on a used copy of Dreamweaver Studio 8.  The seller claimed the software disks were ‘lightly used’ with no visible signs of wear.  They also stated that original packaging was not available, but the manual was included and the software was legal and was registered with Macromedia/Adobe.  I went ahead and bid, and I ended up winning the auction.
