Thing 27

I have been trying to use Twitter more. I am currently following some colleagues in a parenting group. It is a nice way to get short tidbits for the parenting classes that I teach on the side. I do like the fact that you are limited to only a few characters. I think as a writing tool, this is great for students to see that you can say quite a bit in only a few words. Good writing exercise for word choice. :)
Twitter might also be used for my students to post short recommendations for books in the media center. Need to think about that for next year. With only 25 days of school left this year, not a good time to start a new project.

Thing 26

I went on the 23 things Ning and put the badge on my blog. I really have not found the best way to use a Ning. Our own state organization MEMO has a ning and I have not found that to be any different than the MEMO web site. I use my Facebook page more often as I can communicate with family and friends easier. I will still have to think on how to use a ning with my media department at school. Perhaps that might be a way to use it. Time will tell.
