So this is a current screen shot of my homepage. I ’ve got myself a few new fol lowers, and have found more c lassmates and fel low learners to fo l low in order to expand my social network. I ’ve even started to get the hang of #tweet ing

FEBRUARY 11, 2013

While I’m still learning how to navigate my way through Twitter, I am quickly learning what a valuable resource it is. It allows me to connect with peers, superiors, and experts in my field, as well as keeping up to date with new pedagogy.

In this way, I’ve developed a whole network of people to answer my questions, provide suggestions, and share ideas with as I progress through my education.

So far most of my participation has been with EDIT classmates, but they are quickly showing me other resources to draw from. It’s been very helpful.

I’m going to make an effort to start tweeting at least once a day, and hopefully my network will continue to expand!
