I never thought I would be using or would be thinking about using this tool!!!...
but I'm so excited to try it at the new charter school that I will be opening as the music teacher this school year.
Twitter has hooked me!! The possibilities are truly endless, convenient, and exciting!! With this web 2.0 tool, I can keep in touch with teachers, students, and most importantly... the parents!!! There have been so many times when I have sent letters home about an upcoming concert or performance and only half of the kids show up the night of the event. Twitter can be another way of sending announcements and reminders that if they do not get it from what was sent home with the students. It can also give the parents a way to ask me questions aside from sending email.
One thing to keep in mind with this tool (this can be looked at as a set back) is that you can only send twits with 180 characters. So this may limit you to just brief messages. Nonetheless, I'm verry excited to see how this works this next school year!
