Do Now 12/3

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!
