When I opened up my Twitter account, I immediately started following T.D. Jakes (my favorite preacher), Luke Bryan (oh my), Carrie Underwood (my favorite country music singer) and Dr. Phil.I must admit that I've always been intrigued with "stardom." I've always tried to be "in the know" about what my favorite people are doing. Before the internet, I had to read about them in magazines such as People and Us. Never in a million years would I have ever dreamed that there would be a way that I could keep up with my favorites every minute of the day. I almost feel like I'm invading their privacy. When I read their tweets, I find myself asking, "Is that REALLY Carrie Underwood saying that, or is that someone saying that for her?" I enjoyed her cute video of her puppies playing on the bed, while I'm trying to see the foreground of the picture to get a peek of what her home looks like. I LOVE Twitter for this very reason.
I also opened a new account for my classroom news. The name of the account is Room14. These days, we teachers have such a hard time trying to make paper copies. Believe it or not, our paper cabinet gets locked after 4:00 everyday! As I was reading the articles, I thought about how a Twitter account could be a wonderful way to keep in touch with my parents. However, my principal is very cautious (and I'm thankful) about how we teachers use social media. Therefore, I've emailed her to ask her if this is permissible. I'll let you know what she says!
