Twitter can help in the Classroom

    

    Twitter believe it or not can actually be very helpful in our education system. In my old school, Paramus High school,  my journalism teacher created a twitter and she posted items that were do or near due dates . This helped almost every student because nearly every student  has a twitter it was useful because we are basically on twitter everyday cause we can access it so easily from our phones. This was key because instead of us having to actually write down the homework in school it's was just easy for her to make a tweet. This can also help because if a due date gets changed or something like that  instead of the teacher stressing by sending everyone an e mail , she makes a tweet and it is seen by everyone. I completely agree with twitter being used in the classroom and would actually be very helpful for us students!

Philippines

Philippines Typhoon

   The typhoon in the Philippines is very devastating and has an estimate of over 10,000 casualties. The death toll and disaster that I have seen through images is honestly just unreal, its scary. The closest thing I have ever experienced to something of this nature was hurricane Sandy. This is obviously no comparison to what they are experiencing but this is the only time I think I can put myself in somewhat of their shoes. Many of the people are looking for food and its difficult for them to find. Things we could do to help them is donations online and just giving as much aid as we possibly could to these struggling people. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people and the country and I will do my best o help the country.

Wiki

  Wiki can be used in many different classes, for example, you can use it in this class. We can use wiki to peer edit stories, essays, and reports. We can use wiki in our history classes by going on "virtual field trips." There are many benefits of using wiki is that you can use them in classrooms,  you can share with friends and all collaborate together, its very easy to use, and is very organized. We can use wikis in this class to make it easy to view all of our tech articles. We can make a link of our names and it goes directly to our tech article. The only experience I have with using wikis is using it in this class in 8th grade.
