Guess who’s still alive, here’s a hint…yeah it’s me. New year, same me
On a joyful note, Happy New Year, hope you’re all doing great and celebrating the arrival of 2018 with as much effort as me on a Monday morning.
So, genius hour 2 is coming up and I used a different source for my information, sorry Google, the source was twitter.
I stuck to my first idea and took the dark path of space, the first people I followed were obviously @NASA and @NASA_Astronauts. I basically just typed in space and followed the first people that popped up (After viewing some of their post of course) like @Spaceweather, @Space__Newz, @HUBBLE_space, @Space X, @SpaceflightNow, @SPACEdotcom,@stuartgary, @Space and @NASAHubble. Most of their posts had interesting information about Space so I was sure that their info could help me with my project.
I asked them question about Mars (My topic), mostly about what Mars is like compared to Earth and why we wouldn’t survive on Mars. I tried to be polite and not too demanding with my questions and added that I was a student looking for info and not some random stranger asking equally random questions. As I said before, their information was very interesting and I think that they could give me the best answers (I’m so sorry Google). The answers I did get were very helpful and cleared up some confusion I had on the topic.
I’m going to be honest and say that I didn’t get very good results, out of my ten questions only one was answered (Thank you @HUBBLE_space) but who knows, maybe I’ll get an answer later. None of them followed me back (What did I expect?), @stuartgary did follow me back though so I’m happy about that ( I didn’t ask him any questions, but I really should have)
I sadly didn’t continue any conversations, mostly because I had nothing to ask from the top of my head.
I personally think that twitter is a good way to get direct information from a source and that it should be used in schools more often. It not only helps students find trustworthy information, but the relationship/friendship/partnership the students form with the person giving them information could help them later on.
That concludes my journey threw twitter, here’s some pizza
