For this assignment, I started using my [|Twitter] account. I've had an account since 2009, but I was never really interested in Twitter. I love updating my Facebook status, but for some reason, Twitter just doesn't do it for me. However, I do enjoy following tweets.I especially enjoy motivating health/fitness related tweets as well as tweets from some of my favorite magazines like @RealSimple. Although I haven't jumped on any of the deals or publicized events, I imagine that I'll find some benefit in following the tweets of local businesses as well as @Richmond.com. I've also been working with my [|Edmodo]account. Edmodo is a program similar to Facebookthat is free and safe for use in schools. In Chesterfield County, there is a big push to use Edmodo with our students next school year. Many teachers have already started using Edmodo, but my school wasn't trained until one of the very last days of school. So, in order to familiarize myself with the site, I have been connecting with other teachers and watching informational videos about using Edmodo in the classroom. I'm also following Edmodo on Twitter. media type="youtube" key="4-KBwriCO-Q" height="315" width="560"

To keep myself up to date with technology in education, I'm also following Jake on Twitter as well as the CCPS tech guru, Adam Seldow. I'm currently working on a creating a blog to document what I've learned in this class. I hope to keep my blog updated with classroom experiences about using technology with my English classes and clubs once the new school year starts.
