However, I generally keep FB for posting about my life with my kids and news articles or videos I found interesting. Twitter is my more 'professional' voice. And, now I am trying out blogging to try and combine the professional with the personal. I like how you can moderate the comments in a blog.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160633926858297292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456878711185538978.post-25050534330916242412017-01-09T16:46:26.601-08:002017-01-09T16:46:26.601-08:00G'day Bill,
Each of the different social media...G'day Bill,<br />Each of the different social media sites send out news in a variety of ways. If I want serious conversation then I will use my blogs; if I want to connect with family and friends while I am travelling overseas then Facebook is more useful; if I want some quick PD and ideas from other educators I will use Twitter - less so since I have retired.<br /><br />One difference with a blog is that you can moderate comments if you want - you don't have to publish that vitriolic rant if you don't want to. But sometimes it can lead to a great conversation.tasteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18131783079315671847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456878711185538978.post-31022675553623814932017-01-09T15:56:55.328-08:002017-01-09T15:56:55.328-08:00Nice to meet you Alicia!
I found this part of you...Nice to meet you Alicia!<br /><br />I found this part of your post so powerful: "But my concern is that something in the readership’s expectations has changed. They seem more ready to fight than to read, speak their minds rather than challenge them. So much of public writing seems to have become about being right rather than real." <br /><br />SO TRUE! I am glad you are here with us and I look forward to reading more of what you have to share. <br /><br />Melanie Ruiz<br />@mrsruiz2301<br />www.mrsruiz.netAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283266712826649190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6456878711185538978.post-75710768456911130022017-01-09T01:04:08.641-08:002017-01-09T01:04:08.641-08:00Hi Alicia, good point!

Twitter feels different from what it was like in 2007, or maybe I've change? We used to engage more in conversations on twitter -- which feels harder nowadays. <br /><br />However I do believe that there is an audience that still wants to read, grow their community and discuss topics that interest them. Hopefully the weekly prompts will help encourage community. <br /><br />@suewaters<br />Sue Watershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230898483382609377noreply@blogger.com
