Twitter, Yay or Nay?

 I say YAY! 

If used correctly this type of social media can be of so much help. Going through a few Tweets from some that I follow, I have learned so many new things. Learning tools to implement in the classroom that integrate technology in huge way. For instance, The Daring Librarian is exactly as she is described in her profile name, daring. My favorite would have to be the ability to learn straight form park rangers as mentioned in this tweet here.

Tony Vincent has a serious passion for learning, at least that's what I gather from his tweets. He really loves to share all his new experiences of technology learning tools. Useful info that might be used in the future or find a way to convince administrators for future purchases. This is one tweet I found useful.

Buffy J. Hamilton is very passionate about expressing her feelings about everything. Could be the weather or her frustrations of librarian woes. However, this allows us to learn about the things that work or don't work through her experiences. We can follow her to find tweets that work, such as this one.

And thanks to @buffyjhamilton and @smokeylit for the inspiration! https://t.co/EJscg0kYQG
