On the Fence about Twitter

I've had a Twitter account for three days and I'm still on the fence. I've known about Twitter for a long time, but was never interested in signing up for an account. I just saw it as another status update like the one used on Facebook to offer such riveting insights like "Jen is loving tea and toast" or "Jason is tired and needs to sleep". I just wasn't sure that I wanted to be a part of that. However, after learning about how Twitter can be relevant in an educational setting, I think that I should at least give it a chance. I do want to engage with the technology and keep up with the kids, although I still haven't quite discovered how it might be used effectively in an FSL classroom. Ideas?

First Post!

I'll begin with a little about me. I'm relatively new to Victoria and I'm really enjoying it. I recently moved from Vancouver where I specialized in French and English at UBC. I chose the education program at UVic because I've always wanted to become a teacher. I have been fortunate to have had several very talented language teachers over the years who really inspired me to follow this career path. They always managed to make studying language interesting and exciting. That's what got me hooked. As a side note, this is my first time blogging and this blog project will be a great opportunity to document my journey from a student to a teacher.
