Twitter has always been a social media that I’ve never wanted to use and when I was told that I have to get it for this class I was a little skeptical. I’ve given it a chance before this class and I still was not a fan of the app because I didn’t understand what the app can do for us as professionals. The use that I had before understanding the app was that it’s just used for enjoyment purposes, but there’s so much more than can be done.

One use for Twitter is creating a professional learning network by interacting with people who share interests with you. The way we learned in class is through Saskedchat. This changed my entire perspective on Twitter because I saw the use for the app and I had a blast using it for that. I still am not a fan of Tweeting just to Tweet, but when there’s a use for Twitter like that, it makes the app much more enjoyable. After this class is over, I probably won’t ever use Twitter again, but I can see how professionals have found uses for it. The reason I probably won’t use it again is because I never post anything on any social medias because I don’t like my life being all over the internet. I believe to use Twitter, you have to be posting pretty frequently to maintain followers and I’m just not able to Tweet that often. I also don’t enjoy Tweeting for this class because posting anything is a huge stress for me and I don’t enjoy all of the added stress that this brings me. Regardless of my opinions on Twitter, I will still use it for the duration of this class and I can understand the importance that people find from it.
