Week 8-Twitter Reflection

Microblogging is the act of posting very short messages as a status update. These messages can be shared via: Twitter, Facebook, Instragram, SMS messages, and much more. Microblogging has made communication so much easier today. We have the opportunity to post feelings, personal, news, etc. status to share all across the world. We also have the option of choosing our followers, and controlling the privacy of our pages. The reason why I love to microblog is because I get to connect with my family, friends, old classmates, teachers, celebrities, etc.

May 2013 when I signed up for ED505 I had no idea that I would be using this much technology for one class. I use technology for my daily use, but this class really incorporated so much into my learning path. Then when I founded out that we had to tweet and blog weekly, I knew this was going to be a challenging semester. I was never a fan of Twitter so this was my first time ever using Twitter, so I was like a new kid on the block. As I learned to use Twitter I see what some of my other network friends meant when they said things about tweets. Now using Twitter I have founded so much beneficial lessons, information, different technologies to use, and much more that I could use for my work and personal life.

Twitter lets you use hash tags to search for any idea you may want to find in the search bar. We have millions of different followers that cover so many areas of subjects. Overall, Twitter is the place to find EVERYTHING and you will love it. Below are some tweets I founded interesting. Enjoy…..
