Twitter Search

While reading the posts of my peers, one mentioned that they prefer to use Twitter to search for information about certain topics. Also, Twitter search was mentioned in Richardson’s book as a way for teachers to help their students locate information. In my efforts to find out more about Twitter search, I stumbled across this video. It helped me to understand what Twitter search is and how to use it to look for information. This is pretty cool!

 

Readings

I am reading a book for my grad class by Will Richardson titled Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts. I find this information so interesting. When I was in school computers and technology was not something that was part of any lesson taught by my teachers. Now, with the progression of the web, search engines,social media, etc students have extensive knowledge of technology, because it has always been a part of their world.
