Twitter - Julia Fallon

I was recently able to hear Julia Fallon from the Washington Department of Education. The presentation focused on Twitter as the main topic and how we as Educator could use it in our jobs. I learned the basic functions and understanding of how Twitter works. Actually, I have heard about Twitter and how it works already from friends that Twitt or Tweet. Im not quite sure which is the correct term to use. Mrs. Fallon presentation was very informative but not convincing enough for me to join Twitter. Actually, I prefer Facebook as my social media of choice. I do think that Twitter can be used in Education as Mrs Fallon explained but I prefer Facebook because it is more interactive and user friendly. It would meet the needs of what I plan to use with my students and parents. I still have that hesitation about connecting with parents and students through Facebook or Twitter. Both are social medias that I truly believe are personal for individuals and what they choose to post is up to them. I do not want to mix my personal life with coworkers, students, and parents.
