Twitter. Hm.

So, Twitter. It was very easy to create my Twitter account. However, even after reading all the help articles that were cited on our learning 2.0 blog, I was still a little confused about how to use my twitter and create tweets. The tagging and @ sign posts lost me. But I will figure it all out with practice and "play".

I think that there is a potential benefit to using Twitter for the school library. It would be a great way to connect with a lot of students, who seem ever more technologically savvy than me. They could see announcements and tweets from the library all the time and know everything that is going on in their school's world of books.

However, I personally don't really like Twitter very much. I've always wanted to be a bird, but not exactly in this manner. Twitter just doesn't appeal to me. I think it's too similar to Facebook, and it seems a lot more complicated than Facebook. If I had the choice, I would probably let a library aide run the Twitter account for the school library, if I had an aide in my library. That way, we could still inform our students about goings on in the library.
