I'm blogging on Twitter!

I started really investigating this whole Twitter stuff the last few days, and although I'm still a rookie, I guess it really does have some potential in education.

Sometimes I feel like there are so many ways to share what you're doing or what you're thinking, that I get to the point of saying "I don't care." I don't care that you're getting your hair done, or that you're lounging by the pool with your lapdog polishing off a six pack of Miller Lite. Do we really need to know everything that's going on with everyone all the time? This is precisely why I started the process of "defriending" some of my "friends" on facebook this week. I digress. Sorry.

Back to Twitter and its classroom potential....I'd love to get rid of my student portfolios. They are big, bulky, and for a floating teacher such as myself, a logistical nightmare. If I could manage to have my students upload assignments to a Twitter account, I'd lose the stacks and stacks and stacks and stacks of portfolios I lug around every year. Even the day to day paperwork would be considerably less cumbersome if I could find a way to Twitterize my managerial skills.

I'm gonna research it further......
