Tweet backs 11

"When we first received the Twitter assignment at the beginning of the semester I was pretty skeptical. I did not think I would enjoy it and I definitely didn’t think I would it be useful or helpful to the class. However, after adding Twitter to my favorites bar I found myself logging on all the time. I mainly used it to tweet about what I was doing, usually homework, but what I really liked was that I was able to read what my classmates were doing. People would post tweets about doing blogs or assignments and I used it almost as a reminder to get my things done also. It was also really helpful for being able to quick questions about the past or upcoming classes, especially if someone happened to be sick or missed a class for whatever reason."
"I thought that Twitter was really helpful for peer-to-peer interaction because it provided us with an outlet to put our feelings about class out there and get a response from others in the class, agreeing, disagreeing or clarifying what ever questions you may have asked. I also found it really reassuring to know that, usually anyways, if you were having a problem with something someone else probably was too."
"Overall I really enjoyed this Twitter project. I thought it was useful and helpful to the class. The other thing I really enjoyed about Twitter was the sense of community that, in my opinion, it brought to the class. The only negative I found with using Twitter is that I found my self thinking of people and associating this with their Twitter handles such as likeahurricane or neeman."
