I enjoy nature, particularly fungi. I love to hike, bike, and everything outdoors. I have never blogged before but have kept a journal. My blog will be about my experiences this semester in my classes at UTK.

Did I really just make a twitter account?

Yes, yes I did. Every once in awile I promise myself I will not get caught up in "some silly fad", i.e. facebook, toms shoes, and twitter. Fortunately, I had suceeded in two out of the three cases. Until Thursday, when I created a twitter account because I did not want the presenters to waste their time and mine. I do not plan on using this web 2.0 tool in my classroom but could see it being useful for parents to stay connected to teachers. I added tosh.o, the dali lama, and several music artists but I did have trouble distinguishing some of the authentic twitter accounts from fake or in memorium twitter accounts. Honestly, I have to rate this web tool 4 out of 10 based on utility alone. My life does not need to be updated each and everyday on the world wide web.

  1. Tosh.0 is not educational, Whitaker (but he IS undeniably hilarious)... and maybe Twitter rates YOU at a 4 out of 10... Wow, I seriously need to get some sleep. I also noticed you didn't post your opinion about Wordle: Biology + Wordle = ... Twitter?
