I am extremely new to the blogging and Twitter world. Before this class I didn’t have accounts with either one. I haven’t decided what I think about them just yet. I text a lot on my Blackberry and haven’t figured out why I would tweet instead. I’m a pretty private person and I really don’t want others knowing my thoughts, relationship status or where I’m going on vacation. Following celebrities or other public figures on Twitter - It is almost like spying on people that don’t know you, it’s a little weird to me. I do see the usefulness of the blogs. I enjoy it when friends of mine who have kids update their blogs with new pictures of their families; it helps to feel connected miles apart. Although they both seem to be wildly popular I think for the most part it is a huge time waster - HA maybe I have made up my mind ;)!
Blogging and Tweeting can both be used to accomplish Blooms taxonomy objectives. Both are extremely geared towards the Affective Domain. Listening (or I guess in this case reading) to what others are saying and participating in conversations helps to develop strengths in this area. Both Tweeting and Blogging are also high in the Psychomotor Domain. They require learning technical skills to participate in these forums.
