The more I have thought about the uses of microblogging, the more I realized just how useful they could be. Not just for instant news feeds, but for networking with a wide group of people. As an educator I have seen the negative way in which social media sites have been taken advantage of. With that being said, if social media sites are used in a friendly, professional manner they can not only be useful but rather entertaining as well. One use that I have taken advantage of is the easy access to disseminate practice times and locations, what to bring, etc. to my various teams that I coach. As the world continues to evolve in terms of technology I continually see opportunities to take advantage of microblogging as an insightful and useful tool for myself and my athletic teams.
