Weekly Report & Reflection Blog Post #5

HEY BLOGGERS!

Welcome to Week 5..

This week our task was to create a Twitter account. Luckily for me I have been an active Twitter since November 2010 and I absolutely adore this site. With Twitter you are able to follow your close friends and family or even celebrities to find out what they're doing or what they're into in 140 characters or less. Just like Facebook has the share button Twitter has the "retweet or quote tweet" function so you can share another users tweet with your followers. On my account I recently quote tweeted the Brock Campus Security about the being a responsible drinker this Super Bowl Sunday. Here is the quote tweet.

I prefer to use Twitter than Facebook simply because of the 140 character limit because it makes you get to the point with what you're trying to say instead of going on and on.

Since I've had a twitter account for a long time and I use it on a regular basis it may be a little hard to weed out my ADED 1P32 tweets but using feedly or the lists function on Twitter you can follow and add me to your list #aded1p32 and see what I share with my followers.

During Week 2 when we made our PLNs I included Twitter because in high school my math and religion teachers would use Twitter as a teaching aid with links to help our learning processes. In high school i was also apart of a special program called "Specialist High Skills Major" aka SHSM that would use twitter to inform the students of special events and give us reminders on important dates. If you're interested in what this is about here is the link. Twitter is often used for the social part of peoples live but it can also be used to expand your PLE. You can use Twitter to educate the pubic on various topics. For example I follow the Peel Regional Police because I am originally from the Peel Region and I like to be informed on everything going on back home. 

To finish Week 5's post I would like to share a WikiHow article that my Feedly picked out for me with you guys. My week has been overwhelming and stressful so this article came in handy. Click here to read this article on "How To Nap".

Until next week fellow bloggers!
