I gave Tweetdeck a poking this week and plan on using it going forward. So far all the problems I'm having with twitter would be happening weather I was using Twitter or Tweetdeck. They mostly stem from forgetting to include a needed hashtag. This week along with Tweetdeck I also used Twtpoll for the first time. In the 4 days of the poll I had 145 views and only 3 votes. Many people re-tweeted the poll and several made it a favorite. It lead to many people following me and now I have 47 followers. I still believe that the best use of twitter is for immediate new. I will use it with my students and their parents to remind them to bring permission slips to school, quizzes coming up and assignments due in 2, then 1 days. I'm looking forward to getting ideas from my classmates but I will be using my Google plus account for a more leisurely look at relevant education content.
