Twitter Experience!

Using Twitter as a learning tool was a rather interesting experience for me. I started this experience with low expectations of success. To my surprise, Twitter turned out to be an excellent tool to aid with the learning process. As I got started, the first step was to create my Twitter account. With an easy step to step process, I had my account created within minutes which included my profile picture and bio. Twitter offers a very user friendly interface. Even without looking at the instructional guide to Twitter, I figured my way around the website in less than five minutes. As I began, the act of tweeting felt very foreign to me. To express important sections of Act II with only a sentence proved to be quite a challenge. Eventually, after the first few tweets, I felt more and more comfortable with the activity. As I became Macbeth and brought him to the 21^st century, it helped me fully comprehend Macbeth’s troubles through Act II. Whilst tweeting about Macbeth’s actions and thoughts, I felt more connected with the character itself. If Twitter did not limit the amount of letters per tweet, it would be a lot more effective as a learning tool.  However, since the tweets had to be short and precise, it really helped me pinpoint the important information that I needed. At the moment, I have mixed feelings about Twitter. In the form of a social media tool, I believe that Twitter is a complete waste of time. As a learning tool, I truly believe that Twitter helps accelerate the memorization and comprehension progress of literature if used properly.
