Commutating!!

Communicating can make or break a relationship which is why I feel that I communicate with different people in different ways.  With professors and people I work with I communicate in a professional way through e-mails and face to face talking.  When it comes to talking with friends and family I am very open and I communicate in all ways, face-to-face, e-mail, and facebook, whichever way is the easiest.  With both the professional and close people in my life I find that communicating face to face is what I prefer to do.  When I am communicated with people I find it very helpful to be able to see the body and facial expressions they have.  I will be communicating with my students face to face, so I know what they are actually thinking instead of just what they can think up to write down in an e-mail or blog.

Now for the tweeting we had to do this past week, I am not sure I like the fact that we were told we had to tweet 20 times.  Some people may not like to share as most about themselves as others on a daily bases.  Some may say that those individuals need to open up more, because you many need to does this later in a job, however not everybody is going to in a  job that communicates that way.  Some people are in a career that only involves talking face to face, e-mailing, and blogging.   I, myself found tweeting fun and different, I have never really changed a status that many times in a week.   I do feel though that it is good for students to learn about twitter and try it.  I think that figuring out a game to play would be the best way to get students excited about twitter and help them get the experience they need with it.
