 Hello again! After exploring the blogging world, it is time to move on to something new. Next on our itinerary is the popular social media site, Twitter. For me, the concept of using Twitter is nothing new, as I have a personal account that I check at least five times a day. It is a way to stay connected with not only friends and family, but celebrities and organizations all over the world. I am very familiar with the layout and mechanics of Twitter, and I hope that this experience will help me navigate this next challenge.

      I have been assigned to create a professional Twitter page for myself and my future career. I have only ever used Twitter for social engagements, and never for professional advancement, so this will be something new. I am excited to explore this new side of Twitter, and I am confident that it will be smooth sailing because of my prior experience on the site.
     I feel right at home with the basics of the Twitter interface, and I am looking forward to this next project. I think that I will be able to follow education foundations as well as current and past teachers, and hopefully be able to receive teaching advice and ideas. I am curious at how current teachers are integrating Twitter into their classrooms, and I am looking forward to learning new teaching styles. I have been doing a small amount of research about how to successfully create a professional Twitter account, and clicking on the info graphic above will provide you with helpful tips that I took into account when creating mine. Thanks again and enjoy your journey!

 

All Aboard!

     Today I am beginning my venture around the Internet! On any voyage, the first thing you must get in order is transportation. This blog will serve as my ship, and I am doing my best to get it into tip-top shape. I am a bit apprehensive as this is my first blogging experience, but with the help of many different Internet websites with helpful tips I am confident that I will get the hang of things soon.
     Before this, I have not had much exposure to the blogging world. Sure, I have looked at various blogs, but I had never attempted to create my own. I am now learning that blogging is an important part of social media. It is a way to expose yourself and your ideas to the world, and it is a way to share your knowledge and learning experiences. It is also a great way to get connected with other people with the same interests as you, as well as promote a business or organization.
     After doing a bit of in-class research, I chose Blogger as the home for my blog. It looked easy to use, customize, and access. While it took me a few hours of playing around to fully understand the various tools and features of this site, I am ultimately happy with my choice. Thank you for accompanying me on my journey!
