What did you learn from using Twitter?
I learned how easy it is to follow others and I now have learned new great ideas and resources for my classroom. You can follow others that have similar interests, jobs and hobbies.
Who was the most interesting person or persons that you followed? Why?
Honestly I thought the most interesting people that I followed were those in our class. I got some great resources from others and I really liked tweeting back and forth with others. I liked getting responses from others or advice if I said I was having a hard time with something. When I was getting ready to work on my animoto video, I had two girls respond to me and said they had done their's and they would be willing to help me if I needed it. You can post a question or comment and get an immediate response from someone.
Do you think you’ll continue to use Twitter personally, professionally and/or both after this assignment is complete? Why or why not?
I think I will use twitter occasionally. If I have a question about something or am in need of a new idea or resource, I will use twitter to get immediate responses from others in the education field. I feel I will also get on once in a while and look at what others are tweeting to see if there is anything that benefits me. In the future, (when I am done with school, and am done being pregnant) I think it would be great to set up a time once a week for parents to get on and tweet any questions or concerns or comments they have and get an immediate response from me. This would benefit my parents and not my students (they are too young). I do feel this would be something parents would find beneficial. This would also allow them to tweet with each other even if I am not available.

Nice post! Twitter is such a great way to connect with others. As you said, I liked getting responses from others or advice if I said I was having a hard time with something." The cohort now has a hashtag on Twitter where you can all continue to share, support, and learn from one another. I am most excited that you have future plans to use Twitter to get new ideas and even use Twitter with parents. FABULOUS!
