So last week I talked about social networking, but for the most part focused more on facebook itself. This week I thought I would talk a little bit about twitter. For those of you who don’t know about twitter, it is a social networking site that allows individuals to microblog. In 140 characters tell your followers what you need/want to tell them.

Since this is my first blog, I thought that perhaps I should somewhat introduce myself. I am currently pursuing my Ed.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Argosy University, DC and professionally I do in-home counseling. My research interests focus mainly on the use of technology in counseling and I have geared the majority of my doctoral student career within that field. I have a passion for educating mental health counselors about the uses and things that we might want to be aware of with regard to technology in counseling. And so it is my hope that this blog allows my one voice to be heard as well as a source for perception challenging for you all. In the 21st century, we are very easily instantly connected to each other through email, cell phones, social networking sites, and a myriad of technologies associated with those things. Through this blog, I plan on exploring some of these technologies one by one and hope to show potential as well as their risks.
