Twitter blogger

     As I continue to use Twitter, I see how I can learn from different people. There are a lot of good suggestions and educational posts that will help me to become a better Physical Education teacher. Many users post information that can be used in the classroom or that may help out with lesson plans. I follow many PE related users that I find interesting and that I will probably need some of their ideas to keep my classroom fresh. I suppose I will eventually be able to contribute to other teachers’ classrooms once I begin to create my own ideas.

            I do have to admit that I do not like reading through the Twitter posts because it is messy with all the hashtags and is hard to follow. I find it frustrating to try and navigate through the different posts and I become bored with it quickly. I honestly will probably delete it once this class is over and save the different names of the users I liked and Google any information I want to find later. Social media seems to cause people to stare at their phones too often, which can take away from conversations with people they are around.

            I also find I have nothing to say and I am trying to look for information on the internet, so I have something to share. I do not feel that Twitter is completely useless, but I do feel it is something I do not want to be looking at every day. I feel the same way about Facebook as well. If I did not have family that lived in another state than I would delete Facebook permanently as well. Like I said before, I understand that there can be useful information on Twitter, and it can help build my PLN, but it is something I do not wish to continue to use and I would like to spend more time doing physical activities and less time on my phone or the computer.
