Thing #18

With the current move toward a paperless society and more and more schools adopting many new technologies it will be very important for all teachers to be well versed in social media and other Web 2.0 resources. I did  not have a twitter account previous to this assignment, but I can really see the benefit and the ease of access to information that it can provide. The hashtag search went well for me once I got the hang of it, and I can see where it could help someone narrow down a search and find something related to what they are looking for. I could definitely see a use for this within a school setting. It would allow students to do research and also provide them a way to connect with the people that are related to that research by allowing them to follow what that person is doing.
