Again, Twitter.
This time I
want to highlight the power this tool has, since it is being used everywhere.
At first (and now more than ever), it was a powerful tool for journalists.
Then, it was used to tear down the censorship wall in Egypt, bringing down the
Mubarak regime. After that, people started to open accounts in order to try to
communicate with famous people, or to get a vote during Big Brother's
nominations, on TV.
In this
blog, some time ago, I wrote some lines as regard the use of Twitter in the
classroom. You can read it here: http://www.santiagoeco2.com.ar/2012/08/what-little-bird-can-tell.html
So, I don’t
have any new comment about Twitter as a tool for learning English. I just want
to share a piece of news that caught my attention:
So, my
reflection this time will be:
Twitter is
everything,
So listen,
and listen well:
Twitter is
in Heaven.
Twitter is
in Hell.
So if
Twitter is everywhere,
Underestimate
it, you shouldn’t.
If the Pope
and the Devil use it,
You can use
it with your students.
