Indeed, a tweet is limited to 140 characters and is not ideal for statements with deep thoughts. In fact, each technological tool has its strengths and limitations. I think teachers, students, and parents all need to think about what technology can do and what it may get in the way of learning.Ron Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970345463259569833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286646904045712391.post-1455763491908947302011-07-25T22:11:14.424-07:002011-07-25T22:11:14.424-07:00Tony,

Since twitter only allows you to use a small amount of characters it seems hard to get my point across. Also, I think if you get students to use twitter, they may use improper grammar and spelling because they have few characters to work with. I also agree that twitter can be a great way to get information from people and groups in a instant. For example, on my twitter account I had some great tweets about physical activities I could do for my class and I didn't even have to search any websites and I am getting this information from leading physical education websites. It does take a commitment to get use to twitter. However, I see more use in other PLNs than twitter that will contribute to my learning and teaching.mikey corlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04617199031866735830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286646904045712391.post-82428142236542989692011-07-18T16:33:10.374-07:002011-07-18T16:33:10.374-07:00Hi Tony, I thought it was interesting how the auth...Hi Tony, I thought it was interesting how the author of your article compared a person's relationship to Twitter to a person's relationship with a friend. It was also interesting how she said that it takes a commitment and that it takes time. I am in my early stages of "friendship" with Twitter. The first time I used it was for our class. Honestly, I am still not convinced that "tweets" are going to do much for my personal learning network. I tend to agree with you that Facebook, Diigo, and Google seem to be better resources for students. I also like blogs as a way for students to express themselves, collaborate with each other, and complete assignments.<br /><br />Lynne Dudaslynne_mirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212066553671440533noreply@blogger.com
