Chapter 6 The Social Web

Ahhh...the ability to share, connect and create with many others of like minds and interests.  Sounds to good to be true. As I read chapter 6 and gained knowledge of the social web I found it very interesting but again not sure it is for me. I like a good old telephone call or better yet a hand written note from an old friend. I opened a twitter account and my daughter told me I was crazy...who was I going to tweet with...she won't tweet me the twit!! So I found Michele Obama, Diane Roberts, Lady Gaga and a few others to follow.

Then I read that getting people to follow you is more difficult...just what I need "difficult". Then low and behold I have a follower...nobody I know!!

I'm not sure I care what people are doing at any time of the day, my day is so busy with family and work that I don't have time to sit and tweett what is going on. I'm sure there are some great uses for this tool but I haven't found one yet for me. I'll have to search out some family members and see if they are tweeting. It might be a better summer tool for teachers when we aren't working and have more time on our hands. I haven't had the time to look at Twitter for Teachers but will give that whirl soon.

Again at the elementary level it isn't for students but maybe their parents but I certainly don't want to tweet with them.
