Challenge #4

So I made a new site at Twitter. I have never liked the idea of Twitter. All you do is say what you are doing at that moment and there is no interaction at all. I don't really see how Twitter can help me in my classroom. Students won't be able to ask me questions, and I can't accurately tell them what we were doing in class that day. All in all I'm not a fan of twitter and will probably never sign on to it again.

Facebook on the other hand is a much better tool. If the students become a fan of my page, which I haven't figured out how to edit yet and add to it but it shouldn't take long, then they can see what we did in class that day. I can post a little video on there for them to look at, I can put the notes on there and they can ask me questions about the homework. I can get a hold of each one individually there and talk back and forth about what happened or how to do something. The only drawback is that I can't provide good examples of how to do something when they are on the otherside of a phone line instead of right in front of me. But that's another kink I'm sure will get worked out sooner or later.
