Using Twitter is not exactly my favorite. I think because I have never been a fan, makes it hard to use it in an educational sense. I am not too familiar with it and how it works. But with time I have found to navigate around the app and realize the different uses it has.

From this point on, it became a more familiar program for me to see in the classroom. I noticed teachers used it to make and format their tests. It has also been used to create our weekly newsletters than were handed out to us. As I got older, I began to use Microsoft Word more and more. Whether it was to use it to create WordArt to put on a poster or to write a report, it soon became a stable for every assignment I had.  Copyright is a big issue and as students, we were always taught to give credit or cite our sources. I remember my teacher would always stress the importance of not plagiarizing. As a teacher, I imagine to be pretty difficult to create product and material for your classroom and the students without facing issues in copyright. I do know there are ...
