Life in Twitterville….
Just as Jsarnett says, I too have been trying to grow in Twitterville by searching for and inviting friends to join me. It has been very slow and difficult to locate people. If you don’t know their email address then you can not find them. I have also tried to post a photo on there but have not been able to find one small enough. I would love to know how to get one small enough to use in this site.
I have decided that even though I will continue to use this site I am going to have to do more in Facebook even though I am a bit uncomforable due to the fact that I would rather keep a fine line between myself and my students. I am going to try to to navigate and get to know the sns culture while at the same time maintain a safe distance. I hope it can be done.
My main concern is that my district will frown on the communication of a teacher with her students in a social network site enough to actually say something. I really don’t see anything wrong with the communication since it would be the best place to be able to contact them if needed.
Nonetheless, I will be navigating through Facebook this weekend. I will also be reading High Tech Heretic.
By the way, if anyone has Twitter please add me so I may continue to grow!

Use a big picture. Twitter will shrink it.

I have tried several and that did not happen. I got an error message stating that my picture file was too large.

My district all but demanded that teachers close any MySpace or Facebook accounts they have!
