I couldn't seem to grasp the concept of Twitter at first but after working with it for a couple weeks im finally getting the hang of it. My friend informed me that Twitter is all 'status updates' but what I didn't realize was that I could learn so much just from everyones tweets. I follow many educators (along with lots of celebrities, of course) and I can honestly say that I was surprised that I received so many tweets from these older men and women. These tweets come in consistently and many of them are providing me with information on lesson plans, seminars, informational meetings, etc. Now, I strongly believe that Twitter is a great tool that I can use now and in the future. I am already excited to begin my teaching career and to follow other teachers from the same school so we can communicate and inform each other of everything thats going on.
There are some things I havent quite figured out yet and thats the RT. I understand that people are re-tweeting what others have said but I dont know if I like this option. It's interesting to think about RT after learning about the copyright information because I feel like these can be related. If you RT what someone else has said, and you dont have permission, does that mean you are stealing what they have tweeted? I understand that you put @ so they get credit, but that doesnt necessarily mean they have allowed you to use it.. I guess it's just something to think about..
