Tweet the Text Reflection Post
I enjoyed teaching our class about "Tweet the Text." I had my reservations about this method before Hannah and I began working on our lesson because I am very old-fashioned in my pedagogical thinking. The wide use of technology in classrooms is so crazy to me, but I think I'm coming around. During Hannah's and my collaboration, I realized the versatility of this strategy and was excited to share it with our class. I think our class's participation went well during our activity, and I think Hannah and I worked well together. During the presentation, I was afraid I was talking too fast so I tried to slow it down. I was also worried about being boring and reading straight from the slides so I was also trying hard to paraphrase without leaving out important details. Delivering lectures and being able to think on the spot are things that I need to work on, so I am grateful for this opportunity. I also realize that I wasn't clear enough in directions on what I was looking for during our "Tweet the Text" activity, but I've learned from my mistake and won't overlook a detail like that again. Overall, I think the lesson went well, and I've definitely learned how much preparation will go into each lesson I teach my future class.

I enjoyed this presentation yesterday in class. I always knew that technology would start to become a huge thing in classrooms, but I actually hadn't heard about using twitter until this school year. My teacher this year is requiring me to have a twitter, and I hadn't used twitter before so I was still learning things. Twitter was just one of the few social media apps I didn't get into. After seeing how this presentation went in our class, it became something I started to think about implementing in my math classrooms. I do agree that this strategy fits better in other categories than some, but it keeps kids involved in engaged no matter what subject it's for.
