Twitter assignment

As I looked at these tweets, I noticed that four of my followers tweeted about educational subjects and the other two tweeted about more personal subjects.
 
Kathy Schrock had quite a few tweets about educational thinking.  I found one to be rather interesting when I looked at her twitter account @kathyschrock.
Started a computational thinking page: Will add more after I take the Google course!
This looks like it would be good to show to the math teachers on my campus.

Linda Braun had quite a few tweets about technological innovations.  In this age of technology, I believe that her tweets would be good to follow, especially since I am still not comfortable with technology.  Her twitter account @lbraun2000 had some neat tweets about different innovations.
21st Century Students Crave Deeper Learning
As I looked this article over, I noticed that it talked about new learning in this day in age.  I wish that my school district had more training for our teachers as far as 21st century students go.  I am still of the old school of education when computers did not exist.  I am learning to open my mind about it and these library science classes that I have been taking have opened my eyes.  I am still a little leery about the technology, but I am hoping that by the end of this class, I will not be so leery.

Tony Vincent, according to his twitter account @tonyvincent, is very big into educational technology.  All of the tweets that I looked at were about his workshops that he gives and the different ed tech ideas that he likes.

This comprehensive list of iPad projection options is super handy (of )
This tweet shows how teachers can use their iPads to connect to the projector in the classroom.  I like this idea because it would be easier to use if the computer is not close enough to the screen in the classroom.  I know when I taught school, my computer and screen were not close to each other and I had a hard time using any videos because of the logistics.  This would definitely help those who are in the same classroom set up as I was.

Buffy Hamilton has quite a few personal tweets on her twitter account @buffyjhamilton.  She had a few tweets about some health issues, so it seems that she has a loved one who is not well.  I can relate to her concerns about family health as I have had many health issues, both myself and my family.

Also sick of filling out same forms over and over at doctor's office within the same practice/group.
I can relate to this tweet.  It is very frustrating to have to do the same things over and over again.
 
The Daring Librarian/ Gwyneth Jones had tweets about the actor Bruce Campbell.  I think she likes him. In her twitter account @GwynethJones she posted the following tweet:

Oh ! My Life Has Just Improved by 100BOOMSTICK% SERIES!
I remember this actor from the television show Burn Notice on USA.
 
Jim Lerman, twitter account @jimlermer, had a lot of math tweets.  Being an Engish teacher, math is very foreign to me.  I struggled throughout school with all of my math classes, so perhaps these tweets would have been good for me. The one tweet that I found interesting was the following:
