This week our assignment in class was to create a twitter account and find five people and/or organization to follow. We were to collect resources that we could potentially use in our classrooms. Before this assignment I did not have a twitter and thought I would never get one since I didn’t really understand the desire to have one. I thought it was just status’s and I want more visually stimulating that just text. Little did I know I would soon find out how useful a tool this could potentially be in the classroom. Here is a link to my brand new twitter ( https://twitter.com/rwerhane ) After using twitter for a few weeks now I have found almost too many resources to use in my classroom! One of the resource that I become fond of was a website called The Spangler Effect (http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/the-spangler-effect.html) , which I found thanks to Richard Byme. The Spangler Effect is a science website that has videos of experiments that you could potentially use in your classroom. Even though my major is in Special Education I have always been interested in the sciences. It is a great website that can be used by most science.
Agreed, there can be too many resources to keep up with on Twitter but it sure is nice to have so many to choose from!
