How can twitter be useful to me?
Twitter can be useful to me in many ways. I can use it a means to search, gather, and communicate information on both a professional and personal basis. I can use twitter professionally as a future educator to find out about a wealth of resources and ideas that can help me in my classroom. Similarly, I can also share my ideas and findings to help other educators around the globe.
Do I have to post information to receive information?
No, it is not necessary to post information because I can just be an observer and learn a lot of information from others. The level of participation is up to me, although it would be beneficial to post information and share what I have learned with others.
