21st Century schzoid man

I personally like the concept of the 21st Century English classroom that consists of blogging, tweeting and, facebooking because it keeps students realitivly interested about what they are doing,opposed to just writing papers and reading books. English is probaly my least favorite subject because of all the papers and reading. But I am what I believe to me a semi-active user of Twitter and Facebook so when I heard we would be blogging I figured that would mean a "post here a post there" But I forgot this was an English class. I wish that the blogs were more of the Twitter set up where you are limited to a certain number of characters.         I believe that the Twitter and Facebook help with a students understanding because the students use these sites everyday. The main diffrence about the way i approched the novel when ever i had free time is when i would read. This is diffrent than the the way an English teacher would assign a chapter they would want you to .
