I think that this picture, although intended for another message is perfect for my blog this week. The message the artist is trying to convey is that twitter is unflitered (like cigarettes) as one often sees with celebrity bashes and things of that manner. However, when I saw this image, I thought of something completely different. I chose this picture because I think that twitter is uber-addicting. This past weekend/week I have felt that I need to slow down on the twitter train because I am posting too much. I also find it addicting to see what others are up to as well. The fact that you can also hook it up to your cell phone just adds to the twitter mania.
I think that twitter would be great to use in the classroom. The teacher and students could have their own accounts and snyc them to their cell phones. The teacher can post due dates, extra information, and sources for the students. With twitter, they can constantly be reminded. Students can also post questions for either the teacher or other students to answer. I think this is a way to bridge the gap between teacher and student. With twitter, each party can be in contact with each other outside of the school area.
